House of Mystery #278

From a glowing television screen, a monstrous clawed hand reaches out toward a terrified young boy seated on the floor, while a panicked man and a frightened woman scramble behind him in a darkened room — and the speech bubble's desperate plea, "Turn that thing off! That television will be the DEATH of me yet!", sets the scene with gleeful dread. This 1980 DC anthology delivers three terrifying tales, headlined by "TV or Not TV," with cover art penciled and inked by Joe Orlando that makes an ordinary living room feel genuinely unsettling. If you've ever felt uneasy about what might be watching you back from the screen, House of Mystery #278 is happy to confirm your fears.
