House of Secrets #150
In "A God by Any Other Name," The Phantom Stranger recounts the forgotten tales of exorcists Father John Christian and Rabbi Samuel Shulman, who once battled possessed machines—stories Dr. 13 dismisses as mass hysteria. When a demonic computer causes machines worldwide to go berserk, the Stranger must confront a threat that blurs the line between technology and the supernatural. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Gerry Talaoc, with colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1978 DC classic features a striking cover by Jim Starlin.
