House of Mystery #300

A landmark 300th issue deserves a cover to match, and Michael Wm. Kaluta delivers — depicting a brooding, cape-clad host gesturing toward a cluster of wide-eyed children gathered around him beneath a blood-red moon, with a haunted mansion looming silhouetted in the background and a pair of black cats lurking at the edges. The sense of dread and dark wonder is perfectly calibrated, drawing you into DC's long-running anthology of chills. Inside, Dan Mishkin, Gary Cohn, and Adrian Gonzales bring "Dying by Degrees!" to life in this special thrill-filled milestone.
