Here's another high-quality issue of House of Mystery, # 243, cover-date July 1976. Suspenseful cover art by Ricardo Villagran. First story is a twist tale with a bit of an ecological edge from the productive mind of Bob Haney, well-supported by eye-catching art from Franc Reyes. Reyes only did 18 stories for DC, mostly in the 70s, including 5 Tarzan tales. Wish he would have done more. His work creates a positive impression.
Second story is a creepy number about one of those fortune-telling machine dummies. Brrr... Written by Sheldon Mayer with unsettling art by Jess Jodloman.
Having sampled a few different titles now, it's looking like HOM may have been DC's best-written horror book of the mid-70s.
