Witchcraft #2

In "The Death Tattoo!", circus performer Garth bears a mysterious magic symbol on his chest—one that grants him hypnotic powers at a terrible cost. As the tattoo slowly drives him mad, its curse doesn’t end with death, but instead seeks a new host. Written by Norman Nodel and illustrated by Nodel with inks by Vince Alascia, this eerie 1952 tale from Avon delivers a chilling exploration of obsession and the price of power. The cover, by Gene Fawcette, captures the story’s dark, hypnotic allure.
