HARRY BLACKSTONE (aka “The Great Blackstone – aka Harry Bouton 1885-1965) was one of the most famous magicians of all time, and during his days the eminent illusionist in the country. He performed for almost 60 years, and was known for his elaborate illusions which appear to defy gravity, the laws of physics, and even death itself. This magician did have a little trouble finding a hone though – after his short 3-issue series from Vital Publications (1946 – our Volume 1), he enjoyed one issue at EC Comics and then three more from Marvel. This book contain the final four issues, featuring E.C. Stoner artwork in the first, and the excellent work of an unknown artist in the Marvel issues --- do you know who it is???
