A few more books to add...enjoy! Oh yeah, Happy New Years everybody! 

The Witching Hour is technically Silver, but that cover is so nice.

Great stuff!! I am still looking for nice copies of witching hour 3 and weird mystery tales 2

[shiverbones]

@greggyI had to sell it all a few years back

I will reiterate my belief, only if it is me, hom175 is the start of the Bronze Age, so witching hour 3 is bronze to me. There is no other trend stronger in the next phase of comics than horror. Everything was horror oriented, even in superhero books, which is the standard right or wrong. Everything got darker after that book.

With you there (maybe 174 for me) and Neal Adams had such a huge impact on that. I think his covers and esp. horror are what started my insatiable quest for bronze horror titles (then there's Wrightson, Kaluta, Dominguez, filipino legends, etc.. of course).

I was also surprisingly driven by Cardy horror, as well, even though he was a silver age guy. He could really capture that spookiness/creepiness around the corner theme.

P.S. House Of Secrets Omni 2 is out this week and completes the title.

Cardy has some fantastic covers!

it really becomes apparent when you use the newsstand feature of mike’s comic site and go month by month and see the change happening

Here's a little ghost of a book you dont see everyday. From Australia.

And one more cool international Wrightson variation. This one is from Quebec

I love the late, great Joe Kubert's work, and was thrilled to get this book signed by him!  The series is awesome too.

Weird War Tales were one of my favorite series as a teenager , and one of the few DC comics i collected besides The Flash ...

i am slowly downsizing my collection and sold my 60 issue or so run on eBay a few years ago including a nice VF #1 (cheap) ,,, but i still have a soft spot for them

Love that cover. Finding a high grade copy of the DC Spectacular is damn near impossible
