House of Mystery #252 - Neal Adams cover, Alex Nino art

Neal Adams dc bronze age horror 1970s dollar comic book cover - House of Mystery #252
Neal Adams
House of Mystery v1 #252, 1977 - Monstrous and symmetrical, this Neal Adams cover is an outstanding example of his late bronze age work. The layout directs the reader's view from the creature to the man to the pulsating eye on the desk. Alex Nino illustrates the tale of an old woman who exhumes her long-dead fiancee. The artist's dark and disturbing style is well suited to the story. Most exceptional is his opening splash of the old woman at graveside. Overgrown grasses and near-barren trees contribute to a stunningly composed, yet painfully tragic scene. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Jack Abel, John Calnan, Don Perlin, Romeo Tanghal, Bill Draut, Rudy Florese and Alfredo Alcala. This is 24 of 26 House of Mystery issues by Adams and 9 of 14 House of Mystery issues by Nino. /// Nino gallery
