American Comics Update: The Midas Collection: House Of Secrets #22-26
*DC: Unlike its sibling title House Of Mystery, House of Secrets started in 1956 after the Comics Code Authority came in, and thus has no pre-code issues. What it does boast is clever horror/mystery/science fiction stories by some top artists and often classic covers. These early issues from the Midas Collection are not often seen on these shores and we have a quintet of consecutive issues in mixed grade issues available. Among these issues are the earliest appearances of Mark Merlin, later Prince Ra-Man.
