Harkening back to the classic EC horror comics, Mystery Manor is a new take on the genre, brought to the page by a stable of hot young artists and writers who pay homage to the masters of suspense while bringing a hip, 21st century sensibility to the horror comic. The narrators are based upon the characters portrayed by the actors of 'Wayne Sealy's Mystery Manor Haunted Theatre' in Omaha, Nebraska. This former Victorian bordello has been the scene of untold horrors - now the ghouls of the real 'Mystery Manor' are ready to follow you home! Gruesome deaths and curious encounters are found within, and these are not lackluster morality tales or spoofs, but genuine explorations of the dark corners of the human psyche. But of course, there is always room for just a touch of graveyard humor as no horror tale is complete without a few giggles! Cover price $2.95.

Volume 138 - 1st printing. "US Nuclear Submarines: The Fast Attack!" Written by Jim Christley. Art by Tony Bryan. The adoption of nuclear power revolutionized submarine design and means that vessels can stay underwater for months, trailing the enemy or training weapons on land targets from secret positions, "always there, never seen."
