House of Mystery #188

A burning, anguished figure spreads its arms wide while a shadowy green creature crouches menacingly before it — all as horrified onlookers peer down through iron bars above — and it's the kind of cover that makes Neal Adams's 1970 work for DC genuinely unforgettable. House of Mystery #188 pairs that striking Adams image with "Dark City of Doom," brought to life inside by writer Gerard Conway and artist Tony DeZuniga. For fifteen cents, this issue delivers exactly the dread that the title's bold challenge — "Do You Dare Enter?" — promises.
