“The Menace of the Mole Men!”

This February 1958 DC anthology delivers an atmospheric cover by Bill Ely, centered on a massive green idol — blindfolded and brooding — with a small, daring figure scaling its back to remove the mask. A warning figure below shouts that pulling away the idol's mask will seal the darer's doom, while the boldly taunting intruder dismisses the legendary "Miss Moon Goddess" without a second thought. It's a wonderfully eerie setup that captures everything House of Mystery did so well in 1958 — big, unsettling imagery paired with just enough dread to keep you turning pages.
