Black Magic was a horror anthology comic book series published by American company Prize Comics from 1950 to 1961.[1] The series was packaged by the creative duo Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, and featured non-gory horror content.
After 50 issues as Black Magic, the title's numbering continued for three more issues as the humor comic Cool Cat before being canceled.
DC reprint title
[edit]In 1973–1975, DC Comics published a nine-issue series reprinting Simon–Kirby material from the earlier series.[2] The new incarnation featured new covers with the same logo as the earlier issues of the Prize series. The reprint issues generally grouped the stories by theme; for example, all the stories in issue #1 dealt with intolerance toward human oddities, while all the stories in #4 were about death.
