Why collectors want this issue

- Michael Wm. Kaluta cover — one of the artists who defined the look of DC's early-1970s horror and mystery line.

- Interior art by Nestor Redondo, E.R. Cruz and Quico Redondo — the Filipino artists who gave DC horror its distinctive atmosphere.

- Stories by Jack Oleck and John Albano, plus a one-page gag strip by Sergio Aragonés (noted on the CGC label).

- House of Secrets is the title that introduced Swamp Thing (#92) — the hosted anthology format here is the same era and look.

- CGC 9.4 with off-white pages — a high grade for an early-1970s DC horror book, which were printed on fragile newsprint and rarely survive this clean.
