House of Mystery #303

Andrew Bennett, DC's brooding vampire hero, finds himself in dire straits on Joe Kubert's cover for this 1982 issue — bound and helpless as a terrifying gallery closes in around him: a snarling werewolf, a shambling mummy, a grinning skeleton, and other monstrous figures lurk with unmistakable menace. The cover copy warns that not all these creatures are mechanical, posing the chilling question of whether Bennett will survive the Carnival of Souls. Inside, Bruce Jones scripts the tale with art and inks by Tom Sutton, colors by Adrienne Roy, and lettering by Gaspar Saladino — a solid creative team delivering monthly supernatural thrills.
