September 1986. ELVIRA'S HOUSE OF MYSTERY was basically just a revival of DC's sting-in-the-tail horror series (which had expired a few years earlier), now hosted by Elvira. Besides this nifty Bill Sienkiewicz cover — whose green skies and the presence of Adam Strange identify the setting as Ranagar, capital of the planet Rann — this issue has some early professional work by Eric Shanower, later the creator of AGE OF BRONZE, who lettered the first of the two main features. I think the Elvira framing sequences may have been written by Tom and Mary Bierbaum, later of LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES fame. (They were credited in the previous issue, but not this one.)
