House of Mystery #175

Against a moonlit night sky, a massive, shadowy beast looms over a rooftop where a terrified young woman clutches a child — Neal Adams's cover art milks every ounce of dread from the stark contrast between the hulking creature and its vulnerable quarry. DC's House of Mystery #175 from 1968 leans hard into that classic silver-age horror atmosphere, with the title's signature "Do You Dare Enter?" challenge practically daring you to flip past that unsettling image. Inside, the creative pairing of writer Sergio Aragonés and artist Jack Sparling promises a story as atmospheric as the cover suggests.
