2008 Halloween Countdown 7: Elvira's House of Mystery #3

The Mistress of the Dark is still wearing her cowboy hat and six guns in Elvira's House of Mystery #3 (May 1986) from DC Comics. The cover art is by Denys Cowan and Dick Giordano. Elvira's segment is titled "Retribution" or "We Don't Need No Stinkin' Tin Badges!" written by Joey Cavalieri with art done by Stan Woch and Dick Giordano. The two tales of terror are "Ballad of Hanging Rock" (a weird western tale) and "One Way Passage" (elevator to Hell story). Here is the cover and the four page Elvira segment:
