House of Mystery v1 #204, 1972 - Lost in the swamps, a young couple encounters a broken down shack with the oddest residents. Slimy and viscous,
Bernie Wrightson's cover design sets the tone for his equally exceptional feature story. Drawn two years earlier, the work is disturbing yet beautiful. This story was later reprinted in
DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #24. Nearly as good is
Alex Nino's old European tale of a beautiful woman and her ardent suitor. His sharp layouts are both daring and contemporary in their design. Panels meld together, affecting pacing without losing clarity. This is Nino's
first professional work in American comics. Other artists in this issue include Win Mortimer. This is 13 of 28
House of Mystery issues by
Wrightson and 1 of 14 House of Mystery issues by
Nino. ///
