Revamping and updating a character that has barely appeared in comics for more than seven decades — after his run in the 1940s series Top-Notch Comics, he only made one further appearance, in 1966’s Mighty Crusaders #4 before his one-off return in 2022’s Jinx’s Grim Fairy Tales — is no easy task, but nothing Joe Corallo cannot handle!!! “Thankfully writer Joe Corallo’s idea to craft a tale that manages to bend worlds, tell a story of fame and fortune, and mix in classic magic was a perfect way to reintroduce this character,” she continued. “And Butch Mapa continuously blows us away with his art that so perfectly merges traditional/retro styles with frightening imagery. Couple this with some gorgeous covers based on classic magic poster illustrations, and you've got a comic that will take your breath away before you can say abracadabra!" "Getting to revisit the character of Kardak, who I had the opportunity to touch on in a short for Jinx's Grim Fairy Tales, has been an absolute thrill!” added Corallo. “Combining classic elements from his Golden Age Top-Notch appearances such as featuring his fiancé Lorna along with a fresh, updated look and perspective on these characters will excite both longtime and newcomer Archie fans alike!" Here is the Preview code to share with your stores now!!! JUN241083 (W) Joe Corallo (A/CA) Butch K. Mapa Kardak the Mystic #1 will be released August 14, 2024, with two covers: one from Papa, and another from Skylar Patridge. Check them both out in the gallery below.

Set 5,000 years, in this beautiful and haunted past, a treaty is set to be signed in the neutral lands of the Glass Empire, ending the 800 year war fueled by the ruthless aristocratic war nation Countith'alyian Dynasty. The heir apparent and last of a venerated bloodline to the divine throne of Noctium Imperium, Crowned Prince Addonnis Neos Latrunculus and his mentor Concerto Maestro travel to witness this historic occasion. As chance would have it the "Harpstrings Of Fate'' were playing their melodious song, pulling Addonnis towards an encounter with the transcendental and beautiful Sappheiros Soir-Florentissima, a princess of the Glass Kingdom who shares a mysterious connection with Addonnis and their rare ability to behold "Celestial Light''.
