*Horror/Mystery 1960-1980’s: In 1978, the last significant title in DC’s horror/mystery line was introduced, and significantly differed from the rest of the line. Firstly, in that, rather than a series of short anthology stories, each issue was one book-length tale of mystery, and secondly that its hostess, the mysterious Madame Xanadu (Beautifully evoked on Michael Kaluta’s covers) was an active participant and advisor in each narrative, rather than just hanging around in the background to introduce the story. Creators in the short but striking run included David Michelinie, Val Mayerik, Gerry Conway, Vicente Alcazar, Roger MacKenzie, Ric Estrada, and Johnny Craig, but the series also gave opportunity to brand-new writers. Running only five issues, the series was a casualty of the infamous ‘DC Implosion’, but Madame Xanadu’s adventures continued, first in Unexpected, then in her own one-shot comic, and she has gone on to grater prominence in the DC Universe’s occult community. We have the first four of the five available, in attractive VF/NM, cents issues, of this low-distribution and keenly-sought series. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
