House of Mystery #282 - Jim Starlin art, Joe Kubert cover

Joe Kubert

House of Mystery v1 #282, 1978 - Joe Kubert's disturbing cover of a modern day Jack the Ripper has only a faint resemblance to the story inside. The "bonus"comic touted at the top is actually a Superman story promoting Radio Shack. Jim Starlin's art is incredibly lackluster, perhaps due to the commercial content. Dick Giordano's inks further sanitize the pages, making the pencils mostly unrecognizable. This insert appeared in several late-1970s DC comics, as well as being a stand-alone giveaway at Radio Shack stores. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Jerry Talaoc. This is 1 of 16 House of Mystery issues by Kubert and 3 of 3 House of Mystery issues by Starlin.
