 Doom battled against genuine spirits and sorcerers, in tales including "The Case of Kalak the Dwarf", "The Sorcerer's Talisman" and "The Dark Legion of Mardarax", in the latter encountering a haunted (and unstoppable) Roman Legion brought back to "life" by the evil Mardarax.Doom's pet Raven, Scarab, who could write messages in the dust for Angus McCraggan, by scratching with his claw, was often of more help to Doom in these serials than was the perpetually baffled McCraggan.The "Cursitor Doom" strip was drawn by Geoff Campion (including "The Return of the Hunter"), and – more effectively – by Eric Bradbury (including the magnificently atmospheric "Dark Legion of Mardarax").
