I'm pretty sure I'm doing that thing where I have a ton of posts scheduled yet still fall behind; but we're still doubling-down on Halloween posts as much as we can. Today, a ludicrously beat-up copy of 1974's Red Circle Sorcery #6, cover by Gray Morrow. I think mine actually has a cigarette burn on it, but we'll see what we can!
Morrow also does art for Steve and Mary Skrenes' "Warriors Dream" and a one-page werewolf piece. Not bad, but I was surprised to find a Howard Chaykin story in here, "The Patience of a Cat," written by C. (Carole) Seuling. When her lovesick swain won't take 'get lost' for an answer, the witch Linnet turns him into a cat! (She may have taken him for a chump, but he was kind of asking for it.) She keeps the jealous "Tomkin" as a pet, ignoring how jealous he is of her other lovers; but that cat may be playing the long game.
Most of this--and a ton of Gray Morrow work--was reprinted in something called Chilling Adventures in Sorcery from Archie. Which is more horror reprinting than Marvel or DC have done in a while.
