Mephisto enters The House of Mystery

 

There aren't too many guests that might make Cain nervous, but I think Mephisto could be one of them. It might be fun to read a story in which the spooky tables are turned.

  2. Ah, a summer story that is ABLE to make CAIN think twice about what he might say to his 'guest'. Of course, the House it self might be in a bit of a problem too. The MYSTERY is yet to be resolved.

  3. Growing up, I would've loved to have seen the Munster and Addams clans share an adventure. Putting this house into the same neighborhood as those two families would just make it that much sweeter.

  4. @Bob Greenwade: maybe Ross will grant your request as a Halloween treat.

  5. P.S.---is that a flerkin I see to Cain's left?! Maybe Big M is the one who's in trouble, here.

  7. @Cary: It certainly would make for a fun photo cover, with just the Munsters and Addamses.

  8. I've always pictured Eddie Munster marrying Wednesday Addams; her brother Pugsley marrying Tabitha Stephens; and Marily Munster marrying Stanley "the other Mr. Terrific" Beamish!

  9. @Ben W: By George, I think you've got it!

  10. The cover raises another thought...what is Mephisto? He's not human or of Earth....is he a solid being as opposed to one of energy? Are there others of his 'kind'? Did he develop? Is there anything he is susceptible to? How would the 'brains' investigate him?

  11. He's an extra-dimensional "h--l lord" who might (or might not) have been mistaken for the Biblically mentioned You-Know-Who. As evil as the Silver Surfer is pure of heart.

  12. That's not Joe Orlando art. That's Jerry Grandenetti from House of Mystery #185.
