Wednesday Worlds of Wonder PSYCHO "Swordsman of Sarn in 'City of Living Light!' "

Created in 1971 for Skywald's b/w magazine Science Fiction Odyssey...

...this cover by Jeffrey Catherine Jones and the following story by writer Gardner Fox, penciler Jack Katz, and inker Vince Colletta were left homeless when the book was cancelled before publication.

However, both were presented in Skywald's Psycho #12 (1973!)!

Enjoy!

This was obviously-meant to be an ongoing high-adventure series in the John Carter/Gullivar Jones mold.

Sadly, there was no follow-up!
Note: Though the cover for Psycho #12 didn't really display Jeff Jones' art to best advantage...

 ...when the cover was reprinted in Toutain Editor's 1984 #36 (1982) in Spain...

...it got the treatment it deserved!

Monday Madness PSYCHO "Weird Way It Was"

If ever a story qualified as "mad" (as in "insane")...

...it would certainly be this never-reprinted terror tale from Skywald's Psycho #12 (1973)

Written by Psycho's editor, Al Hewetson, and illustrated by Pablo Marcos, this story has plot elements from and visual references to Lewis Carroll's surreal Alice tales.
