House of Mystery #1
First in series
Lowest price $100
Average price $500
Record price $2,450
Not your typical werewolf cover, House of Mystery #1 is a scarce DC horror comic from 1952.
House of Secrets #1
First in series
Lowest price $50
Average price $400
Record price $4,050
Unfortunately for House of Secrets, the Comics Code Authority had already begun to kill off series like this. By the time it debuted in 1956, fans of horror and crime comics had turned away.
Movie Comics #6 (1939)
The Phantom Creeps
Lowest price $150
Average price $1,000
Record price $2,280
One of the earliest DC horror comics, based on a movie from the golden age.
Phantom Stranger #1 (1952)
Early DC horror comics series
Lowest price $200
Average price $2,000
Record price $24,000
A very creepy 1950s horror cover. The series ran for six issues, and the others never quite reach the heights of #1. Scarce in the marketplace.
Sensation Comics #108
New direction for title into horror themes
Lowest price $80
Average price $500
Record price $2,200
Before it became official with a title change to Sensation Mystery, Wonder Woman's appearances became less front and center, replaced by aliens, ghosts and monsters.
Issue #103 was Wonder Woman vs robots, and it got weirder and weirder from there.
Strange Adventures #1 (1950)
1st in long-running series
Lowest price $150
Average price $800
Record price $7,800
Strange Adventures never dabbled with the truly edgy themes of horror comic covers of the 1950s which ultimately led to the Comics Code Authority. It was always a little softer.
House of Secrets #61
1st Eclipso
Lowest price $25
Average price $150
Record price $1,700
One of the few first appearance issues in the run, Eclipso was never a big deal in the DC Universe.
House of Secrets #81
Origin of the House of Secrets
Lowest price $30
Average price $400
Record price $2,650
Where it all began. Find out the secrets of the House of Secrets!
House of Secrets #92 (1972)
1st Swamp Thing
Lowest price $200
Average price $2,000
Record price $90,000
An absolute classic by Bernie Wrightson, Swamp Thing's debut features an outstanding cover which is one of the most iconic of the Bronze Age. Made into a horror movie in 1982.
House of Mystery #174: New look, Mystery format. Click for valuesHouse of Mystery #174
New look, Mystery format
Lowest price $50
Average price $250
Record price $7,500
This book was a relaunch issue. It established the new look for House of Mystery moving forward.
The classic beckoning cover by George Roussos is instantly recognizable.
House of Secrets #123
Classic cover by Frank Robbins
Lowest price $30
Average price $140
Record price $2,000
A dripping ice-cream cone with a hideous face: this is somewhat reminiscent of the 50s horror comics banned by the Comics Code Authority rules.
House of Mystery #143
Martian Manhunter crossover
Lowest price $40
Average price $100
Record price $900
For a long time considered the first crossover for Martian Manhunter, this was disproven recently.
It's still a nice comic to find in an old stack.
Strange Sports Stories #1
Tie-in between sports and horror
Lowest price $5
Average price $40
Record price $210
A truly bizarre series which only lasted six issues. Probably should never have got off the drawing board...
Weird War Tales #1
Lowest price $15
Average price $250
Record price $10,200
An unusual crossover concept, blending war comics with horror.
Swamp Thing #1
Bernie Wrightson art
Lowest price $50
Average price $150
Recent 9.8 Sale $4,000
Record price $7,000
The first in the standalone series following Swamp Thing's successful introduction in House of Secrets #92 (see above).
Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love #1
Grey tone cover; text story by Wes Craven
Lowest price $30
Average price $120
Record price $1,100
Wes Craven would go on to make some of the 80s' most memorable horror movies.
Tales of the Unexpected #14
Green gorilla cover
Lowest price $5
Average price $50
Record price $960
Launched in 1956, after the Comics Code Authority had spoiled the party for horror comics for decades.
A green gorilla cover story is about what you would expect from horror and suspense titles from this era.
Doorway to Nightmare #1
1st Madame Xanadu
Lowest price $15
Average price $100
Record price $675
Madame Xanadu was a popular character in DC horror comics of the 1970s and 1980s.
Preacher #1
Adapted into a TV series
Lowest price $5
Average price $50
Recent 9.8 Sale $250
Record price $1,340
The heyday of this book has come and gone, with the TV series running to a successful conclusion. It's a cool DC horror comics series if you're looking for something to read.

Neil Gaiman scripts
Lowest price $5
Average price $100
Recent 9.8 Sale $440
