“Fright!”

In House of Mystery #190, Sergio Aragonés delivers a delightfully twisted series of single-panel gags that turn the mundane into the macabre with a wink. From a startled man sharing a bench with a grinning gargoyle to a hunter mistaking a flamingo for a butterfly, the humor leans into playful horror with a touch of the absurd. Neal Adams’ sharp, expressive cover art perfectly captures the issue’s eerie-yet-funny tone.
