House of Mystery #227
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Vengeance of Voodoo Annie," John Albano and Joe Orlando deliver a delightfully twisted mix of humor and eerie charm in House of Mystery #227. The issue opens with four offbeat gag cartoons—ranging from a surreal Turkish bath to a diner's alien diner, a witch with a stew pot, and a grim undertaker awaiting the result of a pistol duel—each drawn with the playful precision that defines the era’s weird humor. The Redondo Studio’s cover completes the oddball tone with a striking, stylized image that captures the story’s blend of the absurd and the macabre.
In "The Haunting Wind!", Dan Russell and Jim Nelson steal a ruby ring from a Tibetan mountain tomb—only to awaken the wrath of a wind-god whose curse follows them home. After Jim is swept to his death, Dan flees with the ring, but the wind that once howled across the peaks now seems to whisper at his heels. Can he outrun a vengeance older than memory?
