The Grooviest Covers of All Time: 13 More from the House of Secrets

Oh, yeah, Groove-ophiles! House of Secrets had some sensational covers during the Groovy Age! Artists like Neal Adams, Bernie Wrightson (if you wanna see more of his HoS covers, click here), Mike Kaluta, Jack Sparling, Luis Dominguez, Ernie Chan, and Jim Starlin shocked, startled, and scared us out of our loose change--and we loved it! Here are 13 of Groove's favorite covers from HoS!

Oh, Alfredo: "The Man Who Waxed--and Waned!" by Fleisher, Carley, and Alcala

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Sometimes a comicbook writer will come up with an idea that is so good (or so chilling!) that they're compelled to use it again (with some variation, natch). One such creepy cool idea belonged to Michael Fleisher who used it in Forbidden Tales of the Dark Mansion #13 (July 1973) with master artist Alfredo Alcala AND (on the cover, at least) monster-master Mike Kaluta--a melting man! "The Man Who Waxed--and Waned" is definitely a spooky shocker, as you're about to see...

The idea of the melting man was such a good one, Fleisher used it again in the debut story of his legendary Spectre run  in Adventure Comics illoed (Adventure Comics #431, October 1973) by yet another artiste, Jim Aparo. Kinda cool, innit?
