House of Secrets #100

A milestone hundredth issue of DC's beloved anthology horror series, and Bernie Wrightson delivers a cover that earns every bit of the tagline "There's No Escape From… The House of Secrets." A pale, helpless figure is dragged down by a cluster of rotting, ghoulish creatures looming in from all sides, their hollow eyes and decomposed forms rendered in Wrightson's characteristically meticulous, deeply unsettling detail — with a background of skulls piled high making clear this is no friendly neighborhood. Inside, Tom Palmer handles writing, art, and color duties on "Round-Trip Ticket," promising the kind of eerie, twist-laden tale that made 1972 DC horror anthologies so compulsively readable.
