Showcase Presents: House of Mystery, Vol. 1
Grade 5-9–This compilation of 20 issues of the series contains a detailed table of contents listing the stories within each issue with author and artist credits. Black-and-white reprints of the original covers precede each of the short stories about the supernatural. Although the drawing style varies from tale to tale, this volume has a very classic-comic look. A recurring host appears throughout but the stories do not need to be read in any particular order. Although the selections lack the overt blood and gore prevalent in today's comics, they also lack any sort of racial diversity.–Corinda J.
