House of Mystery

    (DC, 1951-1983)
™ and ©1970 DC Comics, Inc.

Since 1951, the House of Mystery has welcomed its readers into the dark world of the mysterious and macabre. Cain, the caretaker was the host, as readers reveled in his strange tales of ghosts, witchcraft, demons from beyond the grave, and terror from our own world. No true fear fan dared miss a single issue.

Alas, after 321 issues and more than thirty years, the House had to close its doors. But even in its final issue, the title stayed true to form. In a last story, fictitious DC editors planned to turn the “House of Mystery” into “Condo of Fun.” Cain, cantankerous till the end, responded by moving his pet ghouls into the DC publishing offices. Although the strategy failed, it was a fitting send-off to one of the best-loved fright titles of all time.
