“Here There Be Witches!”
Reed and Sue Richards, along with the rest of the FF, travel to New Salem—Agatha Harkness’s hidden mystical village—where they discover her mysterious disappearance and confront a powerful new enemy: Nicholas Scratch, her own son. Franklin Richards becomes a central figure in this magical showdown, as witchcraft clashes with science in classic Pérez fashion.
