Another comic I really, really need to find--House of Mystery #149, 1969:
Not just for that great cover, which elicits from me the following comments:
A)Too bad they won't be doing this cover story in the current House of Mystery...or will they??
B) I really want to see the insect Johnny Cochrane!!
C) I think I saw that one on a Law & Order once...
No, the reason I really, really need to read this issue is that the J'onn J'onzz story in it is titled, "The Man-Thing That Unearthed Secrets."
That title is so perfect on so many levels, my head is throbbing with joy.
The Man-Thing That Unearthed Secrets...geez, that is so cool...

Those old House of Mystery and House of Secrets (along with Strange Adventures) were all pretty much interchangeable but boy did they have a ton of goofy story gags on the covers!
ReplyDeleteWhere else but the Silver Age can you find gems like these on the covers?
* "The Man Who Hated His Hair!" (House of Secrets #5)
* "The Fantastic Typewriter!" (House of Secrets #18)
* "I Was the Seeing-Eye Man!" (House of Mystery #104)
