Secrets of Haunted House #5 - Nestor Redondo art, Bernie Wrightson cover

Bernie Wrightson

Secrets of Haunted House v1 #5, 1975 - Several hosts from other horror titles chide Destiny, whose own Weird Mystery Tales had just been canceled. The Nestor Redondo art on this intro page is humorous, yet beautifully and conscientiously drawn. Also maintaining a high standard is cover artist Bernie Wrightson, whose twisted jack-o-lantern peers menacingly at the reader. Quietly composed, it's one of best Halloween-themed covers of the era. Other artists in this bronze age comic include John Albano, Tenny Henson, Ernie Chua, Vince Colletta and Bill Draut.
