House of Secrets #94 (Nov. 1971, DC) — VG/FN 5.0
Wrightson Bronze Age Horror • 52-Page Giant • Early Joe Orlando Era
There’s no mistaking a Wrightson cover when you see one — and this one is peak Gothic dread: a shadow-drenched kidnapper in a stovepipe hat, a limp maiden in his arms, and that stained-glass glow behind them like some doomed cathedral stairwell. This is House of Secrets #94, the first giant-size issue of the run (25¢! 52 pages!) and one of the key early entries in DC’s shift into full Bronze Age macabre under editor Joe Orlando.
Inside:
– Alex Toth stalks the unseen in “Track of the Invisible Beast”
– Len Wein & Tony DeZuniga riff on Dr. Jekyll in “Hyde — and Go Seek!”
– Gerry Conway, Alan Weiss & Bernie Wrightson close the door with “A Bottle of Incense… A Whiff of the Past!”
– Plus Sparling, Roussos, Aragonés gag page, and the ever-nervous host Abel guiding you through the rot.
Strong Bronze Age mood piece — a perfect bridge between pre-code aesthetics and 1970s horror revival. A must for Wrightson collectors, Orlando-era DC, or anyone building the full run.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes (5.0 / VG/FN)
Solid mid-grade with presentable eye appeal. Gloss still active on front, colors rich with only mild fade at edges. Spine shows moderate stress lines with a small color-break crease at bottom. Light corner blunting, faint general handling wear. Back cover clean but shows a mild curve and a few small surface dents. Interior pages off-white, firmly attached, no writing or tears. Respectable copy you don’t have to baby — ideal for readers & run-builders.
