*Horror/Mystery 1960-1980’s: In the late 1960’s and again in the 1970’s, relaxations in the then-Draconian Comics Code Authority encouraged both DC and Marvel to look again at the horror/mystery format, which had stagnated since the hysterical ‘purges’ of the 1950’s. DC did this by revamping its venerable House of secrets and House of Mystery series, which had become staid pseudo-sci-fi, with a roster of inventive new artists, and in short order Marvel followed with the all-new Chamber of Darkness and Tower of Shadows series, offering the Marvel Bullpen at the height of their game. Marvel went the all-reprint route very swiftly, but both companies’ efforts spawned dozens of spin-off titles, still keenly sought by aficionados of the suspenseful and mysterious. From DC this update, we offer new listings for Black Magic, Elvira’s House of Mystery, Ghosts, House of Mystery, Plop!, Unexpected, and Witching Hour. From Marvel: Chamber of Chills, Creatures On The Loose, Crypt of Shadows, Fear, Journey into Mystery, Monsters on the Prowl, Supernatural Thrillers, Tomb of Darkness, Tomb of Dracula, Tower of shadows, Vault of Evil, Werewolf by Night and Giant-Size Werewolf (for when an itty-bitty Werewolf just won’t do the job…) Come and join us in the crypt, horror-fans – but do leave a light burning to see your way out again…
