Steve Englehart went to Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. After a stint in the Army, he moved to New York and began to write for Marvel Comics. That led to long runs on Captain America, The Hulk, The Avengers, Dr. Strange, and a dozen other titles. Midway through that period he moved to California (where he remains), and met and married his wife Terry.
He was finally hired away from Marvel by DC Comics, to be their lead writer and revamp their core characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern). He did, but he also wrote a solo Batman series (immediately dubbed the "definitive" version) that later became Warner Brothers' first Batman film (the good one).
After that he left comics for a time, traveled in Europe for a year, wrote a novel (The Point Man™), and came back to design video games for Atari (E.T., Garfield). But he still liked comics, so he created Coyote™, which within its first year was rated one of America's ten best series. Other projects he owned (Scorpio Rose™, The Djinn™) were mixed with company series (Green Lantern [with Joe Staton], Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four). Meanwhile, he continued his game design for Activision, Electronic Arts, Sega, and Brøderbund.
And once he and Terry had their two sons, Alex and Eric, he naturally told them stories. Rustle's Christmas Adventure was first devised for them. He went on to add a run of mid-grade books to his bibliography, including the DNAgers™ adventure series, and Countdown to Flight, a biography of the Wright brothers selected by NASA as the basis for their school curriculum on the invention of the airplane.
In 1992 Steve was asked to co-create a comics pantheon called the Ultraverse. One of his contributions, The Night Man, became not only a successful comics series, but also a television show. That led to more Hollywood work, including animated series such as Street Fighter, GI Joe, and Team Atlantis for Disney.

Actual rating 3.6 stars.
I don’t know if this is where they got some inspiration or it’s my brain making connections but I did see some similarities to this issue (actually the series in general) and WandaVision!
Unfortunately for Agatha, in this issue she met a terrible fate...because of her grandchildren.
Who Vision and Wanda happen to meet just as they stumble across New Salem.
My favourite panel was right at the end when Wanda is facing us (the reader) with a cheeky smile and her hands over her stomach.

yikes! we meet agatha harkness once more, but then she immediately dies.. but her own grandchildren no less.. that’s harsh.
and woah, when wanda goes a bit too far with her powers, her hair turns brown; very interesting indeed!
this issue was pretty fun to read! the plot was intriguing enough that you’d ignore the first 2 issues that are meh.
i wonder if we’ll see the twins in future reads!

When Witches Die, Ancestors #3 (of 12)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars
Favorite Run. The comics that focus on the Scarlet Witch tend to be my favorite and highest rated. BEAUTIFUL PANELS! I love anything witchy so I appreciated this run entirely. From the sigils to the talismans, to stumbling upon a secret village called New Salem that appeared from nowhere, I loved every second of it! A big scene from the TV series WandaVision, must have been inspired by this issue as well.
New character(s) I met:
• Salem's Seven 'Supreme' Villains-
Vertigo, Gazelle, Reptilia, Thornn, Hydron, Vakume, Brutacus
• Vertigo- Leader of Salem's Seven
— Priestess of all 666 New Salemites
— Queen of the New Salem Witches
— Eldest Granddaughter to Agatha Harkness, (but Scarlet was Agatha's chosen apprentice)
— Turns minds inside out
— She's African American with a beautiful afro + wears white priest robes
• Nicholas Scratch- deceased
— is mentioned quite a bit
See FF ANNUAL #14
Personal OCCULT Note:
New Salem is a place that always brings deep curiosity in me because of the history the place holds, but also when meeting my mother's real father over +20 years ago, we traveled to a place in North Dakota called New Salem to meet him. It was a very eerie and strange place. My new Grandpa had land in New Salem with a creek running through it that had caves in the hills. The place screamed "the hills have eyes people", but he was nice and kind. I visited that creek, but never went in the black water, and I never went in those caves. Bad accidents always happened whenever we visited or stayed. I always got violently sick around there and the people seemed strange, like far removed, yet impulsive and quick but slow at the same time. Unpredictable. I probably made it more than what it was at the time, but then again maybe I didn't, he did start acting out of his usual character towards the end and died mysteriously in his sleep on those same lands, no autopsy. It may not be New Salem Massachusetts, but weird things happen in New Salem, North Dakota too. Much of ND is on ancient Indian burial grounds; all the oil rigging + fracking there, has only made history repeat itself, and those who are sensitive, see and feel the curses beneath their feet beginning to rise and happen all over again. The New Salem's of the world appears to hold certain energy, a different portal to a bloody past, a realm of hell, here in the physical.

Muy interesante la historia de la maestra de Wanda, Agatha pues jamás imaginé que tendría nietos y su muerte es terrible.
Me encantó que Visión y Wanda hablen de hijos porque se los ve muy enamorados. Ya quiero ver el método que usarán para tener hijos. Pero el ataque es repentino y jamás imaginé que Nueva Salem estuviera ahí pero es muy denso todo el asunto pues los nietos de Agatha desean matar a Wanda.
Me dió risa cuando Visión se hace el noqueado y pues susurraban aunque en vano porque Gacela los escuchaba muy claramente. Aunque los ayuda después de eso.
Muy bueno
