☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn House of Mystery #142, a struggling wax museum owner named Roger Leslie sees a surprising turn in fortune when his twin brother Clive sends a shipment of new figures—only to find the exhibits are far more than they seem. Written by Jack Miller and illustrated by Howard Sherman, this eerie tale unfolds with a chilling twist as the figures begin to move, hinting at a dark secret behind the museum’s new arrivals. The cover by Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff captures the unsettling mood perfectly, setting the stage for a story that’s equal parts mystery and supernatural suspense.
In "The Secret of the Masked Vigilantes," a group of stranded alien survivors uses their advanced technology to quietly protect an Earth city, blending into the shadows as masked vigilantes. When a cunning criminal discovers their secret, he threatens to expose them—forcing the aliens to decide how far they’ll go to keep their mission hidden.
When Roger Leslie’s wax museum struggles to stay afloat, a shipment from his long-lost twin brother Clive brings unexpected — and unsettling — new exhibits. But these aren’t just any wax figures; they’re unnatural, restless, and drawn to priceless art, all under Clive’s unseen command.
