House of Mystery #184

Neal Adams delivers a genuinely unsettling cover here: three children crouch and peer through an open doorway, where a horned, flame-colored demonic figure stands illuminated beside a candelabra against a backdrop of fire — while a grotesque green creature lurks above the entrance and Cain, the House's sardonic host, watches from the upper corner. This February 1970 DC anthology channels the era's horror revival perfectly, pairing Adams's precise linework with the title's signature dare — "Do You Dare Enter?" — to make you feel the children's dread as something genuinely dangerous waits inside. With "Turner's Treasure" on the docket, this issue promises the kind of eerie, twist-laden fare that made House of Mystery a staple of the newsstand.
