Black Magic Woman: Looks like a fun series!

Black Magic Woman by Justin Gustainis

Black Magic Woman begins in Salem, during the infamous witch trials, as a convicted witch utters a curse against her accuser.

Ferren and the Angel: Why are they worshipping a can of fly spray?

Ferren and the Angel by Richard Harland
