House of Mystery #298

A mob of desperate, reaching hands clutches wooden mallets as they press in around a strange, glowing-eyed robotic figure at the center of the cover — a striking image that poses the tantalizing question: was this being a vampire from beyond the stars, or humanity's last hope? Joe Kubert's cover art for this November 1981 issue delivers both dread and curiosity in equal measure, drawing you straight into "Stalker on a Starless Night." With all-new pages and a creative team including writer Jack C. Harris and artist Tom Sutton, House of Mystery #298 is a fine example of DC's anthology horror at its most compelling.
