House of Mystery #176

Neal Adams provides a genuinely unsettling cover for this October 1968 DC chiller, depicting a melting candle dripping onto an ornate golden holder, a glowing red amulet on a chain nearby, and a spectral green mist swirling around a framed portrait of a shadowy man — all while a group of frightened onlookers peers anxiously through a window from outside. The tagline "Do You Dare Enter the House of Mystery?" frames the eerie tableau perfectly, setting the mood for the interior tale "The House of No Return!"
