2008 Halloween Countdown 16: Elvira's House of Mystery Special #1

DC Comics was not entirely finished with the Mistress of the Dark and put out Elvira's House of Mystery Special #1 (1987). The cover art of the horror hostess sitting on Santa's lap was done by the very talented Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez. Her ten page segment is titled "Elvira's Christmas Carol" written by Joey Cavelieri, colored by Shelley Eiber with Frank Springer doing the pencils and inks. The four tales of haunted holidays include "Oh, What Fun to Laugh and Sing a Slaying Song Tonight!", "O, Christmas Tree..." (a one pager), "'Twas the Night before X-Mas..." and "Anyone Ready for Roasted Chestnuts?" (the worst of the bunch).

As my final post about the Mistress of the Dark at DC Comics, I give you thirteen pages of goodies including a very sexy Christmas pinup.

The local Wal-Mart's started putting up their Christmas items around October 1st before they even started putting up their Halloween items.; October 16, 2008 at 11:45 AM
