House of Mystery #283 - Alex Nino art, Joe Kubert cover

Joe Kubert

House of Mystery v1 #283, 1978 - A scientist returns from a remote island with his native bride, only to suspect her of poisoning him. Alex Nino's layouts are exceptional, coupled with his raw drawing style. The large borderless panel on page one makes the living room setting more spacious and open. Nino's monsters are among the most grotesque in DC horror comics, including his rendition of a man's transformation into an insect. This is his last story for this series and among his most memorable. By comparison, Joe Kubert's related cover is merely adequate. This is 2 of 16 House of Mystery issues by Kubert and 14 of 14 House of Mystery issues by Nino. /// Nino gallery
