“Baron Bug and His Insect Army”

DC's House of Mystery #163 spotlights the "Dial H for Hero" feature with a cover by Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella that throws our hero into a genuinely sticky situation — quite literally, as Baron Bug's fly paper traps the transformed Robby Reed while a cool, commanding villain in white orders his insect firing squad to take aim, giant bug-headed creatures looming menacingly at the ready. The headline boldly proclaims Baron Bug "the wildest villain yet," and with an insect army at his disposal, it's easy to see why the cover taunts Robby to escape without his trusty H-Dial. Writer Dave Wood and artist Jim Mooney deliver what promises to be a delightfully offbeat 1966 adventure in one of DC's most imaginative anthology titles.
