“The Devil Strikes at My Old Kentucky Home!”

In "The Devil Strikes at My Old Kentucky Home!", writer Arnold Drake and artist Frank Robbins deliver a chilling tale of survival and creeping dread, as ex-jockey Dolph Culhane is stranded after a mountain plane crash and forced to eat the racehorse he’d just purchased—only to discover, after rescue, that the animal was diseased and that he’s now showing the same symptoms. With haunting art by Frank Robbins and a stark, unforgettable cover by Neal Adams, this 1977 House of Mystery entry blends rural isolation with supernatural unease in a story that lingers long after the final page.
