American Update: “A Plague on Both your Houses!” – House of Mystery, House of Secrets and more DC Horror
*Horror/Mystery 1960-1980s: Following the relaxation of the Comics Code Authority in the late 1960s, the formerly tepid DC mystery line revitalised its image with superior chiller tales illustrated by the premier artists of the day. Leading the charge were House of Mystery and House of Secrets, whose rival horror-hosts, brothers Cain and Abel, brought a dash of the old EC flavour to the tales. From the late 60s to the early 70s, these were genuinely gripping twist-ending stories, and often featured stunning covers by A-listers Adams, Wrightson, and Kaluta. We’re delighted to welcome back a new range of numbers of House of Mystery between #189 to #217, and House of Secrets between #87 to #106, as well as a bonus trio of similarly-refurbished Unexpected issues! (#118, #133 and the 100-Page #157!)
