House of Secrets #93

DC's long-running anthology of dread, House of Secrets #93 from 1971, promises two unsettling tales — "Lonely in Death!" and "Never Kill a Witch's Son!" — at the bold promise of being "Bigger & Better" for just a quarter. Bernie Wrightson's cover is a masterclass in atmospheric horror: a wide-eyed blonde woman lies helpless in the grip of a gaunt, sinister figure draped in a billowing green cloak, the two of them entangled in a scene of genuine menace amid shadowy, grasping surroundings. Interior stories by writer John Albano and artist Tony DeZuniga make this a strong entry in DC's early-'70s horror anthology line.
