“The Ebony God”

A harrowing holiday scene graces this 1978 DC anthology issue — beneath a decorated Christmas tree, a hulking, fanged beast looms over a fallen blonde woman while two terrified children flee in the background, making for one of the most unsettling yuletide covers imaginable. Joe Orlando's pencils and Dick Giordano's inks deliver that chilling contrast of festive cheer and pure dread with impressive craft. At a full dollar for 80 pages of all-new stories — including Arnold Drake's "The Ebony God" brought to life by E. R. CruzHouse of Mystery #257 offers a generous helping of DC horror at its atmospheric best.
