*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, and following shortly thereafter was the launch of a brand-new series, the Witching Hour, in which a trio of sinister sisters span terrifying 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, with interior art by all of the above plus Toth, Cardy, Morrow and a galaxy of star artists. This new selection includes House of Mystery from #201 to #254 (including the hard-to-find Dollar Comics issues), a single House of Secrets – but with an (unverified) Berni Wrightson signature on the splash page – and a truly stunning selection of Witching Hour issues in superlative grades, from #3 to #14, among the finest DC mystery issues.
