House of Mystery #246

DC's long-running anthology of the eerie ventures deep into the Arctic for this October 1976 issue, promising "a chilling tale of murder and madness in the frozen north." Ernie Chan's cover delivers on that promise with a ferocious, snarling beast rearing up amid a brutal snowstorm while figures and sled dogs scatter in terror across an icy landscape. With the teased story "Death-Vault of the Eskimo Kings" written by Michael Fleisher and Russell Carley with interior art by Mike Vosburg and Sal Trapani, this is the kind of bone-cold, atmospheric horror that made House of Mystery such a reliable treat throughout the Bronze Age.
