In "Welcome Back to... The House of Mystery," sorcerer Konassos arrives at the House with his white cat, setting off a haunting tale of transformation and vengeance. When Cain witnesses the cat become a woman, he hears the story of Isha, an Egyptian priestess turned feline by Konassos, and her quest for retribution through magic. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life with haunting art by Berni Wrightson—both inks and pencils—this eerie tale unfolds in full color by Tom Ziuko, with a cover by Wrightson that captures the story’s dark elegance.
