House of Secrets #114

A young woman in a red dress flees in terror across a frozen surface as a lineup of skeletal hockey players — blue-uniformed, sticks in hand — bears down on her, while a bony hand reaches up through the shattered ice below. Nick Cardy's cover for this December 1973 issue captures that perfectly unnerving blend of the mundane and the macabre that made DC's horror anthologies so compelling. With a story titled "Night Game" and the tagline "There's No Escape From…", this issue promises the kind of chilling twist that kept readers reaching for the next issue off the spinner rack.
