House of Mystery #84

From DC's long-running anthology series comes this 1959 issue featuring the lead story "The 100-Century Doom." The cover by Bob Brown presents a genuinely unsettling scene: a glowing, flame-outlined figure — the Negative Man — stands at the center while two men in suits confront it, one warning the other, "Stop, Kirk! He's a part of you! If you destroy him, you'll destroy yourself!" It's a tense, eerie setup that captures everything that made late-1950s DC mystery anthologies so compelling.
