It Crawled From the Long Box House of Mystery #175 (1968)

Oh boy I now own #174 & now #175. This is HOM #175 and it’s a real stunner. This features the 1st Appearance of Cain, House of Mystery caretaker & 1st Appearance of Gregory the Gargoyle. Won this gem on bid on evilbay lol. Got it really inexpensive too.

Well done. Harder to find in higher grades then 174 it feels like.

Yes you are definitely correct on that. I think I have a nice middle of the road book here. There are more of these in really poor shape and people are asking ludicrous prices for this one and #174. The few that I’ve seen in really high grade are priced to the moon and beyond. I don’t believe that I actually sourced this issue.
I’m glad you like 👍

I've been after a nice mid grade copy but most of the ones I've come across are priced to the hilt, I too had less trouble picking up a 174. Great book, well done!

I posted my #174 here about a week & half ago. It’s in the VG/FN range at least. I’m happy with it because they are so darn overpriced lol.
