With the growing backlash against American horror comics in the mid-1950s, as well as the advent of the Comics Code Authority and its restrictions on horror-themed storylines (banning stories dealing with such supernatural fare as vampires and werewolves), the series was quietly revamped into dealing with science fiction-type monsters and other mystery/suspense-type tales that were permitted by the Comics Code. Issue #1 was cover dated December 1950-January 1951. The House of Mystery started out as a horror anthology, featuring tales of the supernatural as well as supernatural-themed mystery stories. It is also the name of the titular setting of the series. It had a companion series, The House of Secrets. The House of Mystery is the name of several horror, fantasy, and mystery comics anthologies published by DC Comics. ![]()
