House of Mystery #180
"Comes a Warrior" is a standout story in House of Mystery #180, where comic book legend Gil Kane steps into a surreal tale that blurs the line between creator and creation. Written by Mike Friedrich and brought to life with striking art by Gil Kane, inks by Wally Wood, and letters by Ben Oda, the story follows a frustrated artist who seeks escape at the House of Mystery—only to become a character in someone else’s nightmare. The cover, a bold, dynamic piece by Neal Adams, captures the tension of the moment perfectly.
