House of Secrets #71

From DC's April 1965 lineup comes this eye-catching issue of House of Secrets, with a cover by Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff that pulls you right in. A towering ancient giant — armored, commanding, and wielding a glowing energy blast — sends a hapless man in a business suit flying through the air, while a massive cart overflows with golden treasure at his feet; the cover promises Mark Merlin's battle against "The Giant Who Once Ruled Earth." Eclipso, DC's dual hero-and-villain, also gets top billing in the banner above, making this a packed 12-cent package of mid-1960s thrills.
