House of Secrets #20

Painted in moody blues and muted browns by cover artist Teddy Kristiansen, this issue presents the series' titular house as a looming Victorian structure perched on a hillside — its dark windows, wraparound porch, and bare surrounding trees radiating a quiet, unsettling dread. The "Other Rooms" banner anchors the bottom of the image, signaling a thoughtful anthology thread running through the series. Steven T. Seagle and the Pander Brothers bring their collaborative voice to the interior, making this 1998 Vertigo entry a fine example of mature readers horror at its most atmospheric.
