House of Secrets #3

A wax museum comes eerily to life on Jack Kirby's cover for this 1957 DC anthology, where a stunned man recoils as a living Cleopatra rises from her display platform, proclaiming her ancient destiny. Wax figures of Marie Antoinette and Helen of Troy stand watchfully nearby in Dupray's Museum of the Most Beautiful Women in History, lending the scene a genuinely unsettling grandeur. Featuring the story "The Three Prophecies," this early House of Secrets issue showcases the blend of mystery and the uncanny that made the series so compelling.
