Weird Mystery Tales

Weird Mystery Tales, launched in the mid-1970s by National Book Store, is a horror-anthology series that trades on eerie, twist-ending yarns and supernatural shock. Though its initial run produced no issues, the title remains a cult touchstone for fans of classic, pre-Code-style suspense, with its most iconic covers and stories often credited to the moody artwork of Alex Niño and the unsettling scripts of Gerry Conway. A brief, atmospheric entry in the Philippine comics landscape, it endures as a nostalgic emblem of the era's fascination with the macabre.
