Tales of Magic and Mystery, Vol. 1, No. 1 (December 1927)
Tales of Magic and Mystery, first issue, December 1927, a pulp magazine from the Personal Arts Company of Camden, New Jersey, carrying conjuring exposés, Houdini material and weird fiction for American newsstand readers. Interior illustrations are brush-and-ink line work with heavy black masses, stage footlights and spotlit smoke, floating heads and skulls, plus small vignettes shaded with mechanical dot tint — useful for silhouette figures and theatrical stage framing.
