House of Secrets #142

DC's House of Secrets #142 promises three terrifying tales, and Ernie Chan's cover makes good on that promise immediately — a wide-eyed man in a pith helmet and green jumpsuit is swarmed by giant spiders and insects, his hands raised in pure terror as he sinks into a glowing yellow mass. The tagline "How Do You Kill an Immortal Man?" adds an irresistible hook to the dread already crawling off the page. With Jack Oleck writing and Ernie Patricio on interiors, this 1976 anthology delivers the kind of creeping, atmospheric horror that made DC's mystery titles so compelling.
