Wraparound cover, Joe Kubert pencils and inks; 13.75" x 20.5"
House of MysteryVery few artists in the history of comics have made as deep an impression on the industry as Joe Kubert, not only has he left behind an enormous body of work that spanned decades, but he also fathered two gifted artists in his sons Andy and Adam, as well as tutoring many young students in his school that would go on to be respected talents as well.
His work in the 1980s showcases the culmination of years of honing one's craft, a deft sense of design, pinpoint control of his medium, and freedom born from years of intense study. This breathtaking wraparound cover for DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest shows the host of the House of Mystery, Cain, sitting astride the titular haunted mansion. Taking a page from Bernie Wrightson's playbook, Kubert weaves a magical spell with this piece, playing with scale and perspective, he creates a loving homage to the long-running frightfest. Fans of Bronze Age DC and second-wave horror comics are doubtless waiting for their chance to land this masterpiece for their personal collection.
