House of Secrets #85

From the doorway of a crumbling house, a gaunt, ghoulish green figure reaches out toward a well-dressed man in a deeply unsettling confrontation — while two terrified girls and a frightened dog flee in panic down the steps — Neal Adams's cover art for this 1970 DC chiller is atmospheric and genuinely unnerving. House of Secrets #85 promises exactly the kind of dread its tagline delivers: "There's No Escape From… The House of Secrets." With Gerry Conway writing and Gil Kane and Neal Adams sharing art duties inside, this is a strong slice of early-'70s DC horror at its most compelling.
