DC Comics · House of Secrets #43 · April 1961 · 10¢ · 32 pages
Grade: FN/VF 7.0
Cover and interior creator credits unconfirmed for this issue.
“The Court of Creatures” — the Mark Merlin story anchoring this issue. Merlin, DC's occult investigator and recurring lead in House of Secrets through the Silver Age, navigates supernatural threats with a mix of detective instinct and esoteric knowledge. Specific plot details and creator credits for this installment are not confirmed in available records.
Like most issues of House of Secrets in this period, additional short mystery and fantasy stories round out the issue alongside the Merlin feature. Specific titles, page counts, and credits for the backup stories in this issue are not confirmed.
House of Secrets ran its original Silver Age volume from 1956 to 1966. Issue #43 lands mid-run, well into the Mark Merlin era that defined the book's identity before the title went on hiatus and relaunched in 1969 as a horror anthology under Joe Orlando — a run that would eventually produce the first appearance of Swamp Thing in #92.
