Until recently I had no idea this was even a thing! The original run of House of Mystery was as a horror
anthology and after several years in the mid-1960's with super hero tales it went back to that
format. It had a good run which ended in 1983 but then in 1986 DC
comics published a new series - Elvira's House of Mystery. It sadly only lasted
11 issues plus an oversized special. From what i'm told this series was sort of a follow up used
to publish stories that hadn't been used in the original series, with the added selling point of famed
horror movie hostess Elvira taking over from Cain and adding her two cents worth to the proceedings. I've found two
issues in bargain bin boxes and with a little luck I'll grab the rest in the
same manner! The hunt is on.
