DC’s 1986 ELVIRA’S HOUSE OF MYSTERY to Be Collected for the First Time

Posted by Dan Greenfield on Jun 20, 2026

DC’s 1986 ELVIRA’S HOUSE OF MYSTERY to Be Collected for the First Time

The 1980s run is being re-published by DC and Dynamite… DC Comics in 1986 began publishing Elvira’s House of Mystery, a revival of its preeminent horror title, but with the va-va-voom TV personality as the “hostess,” replacing Cain. The series ran 11 issues (plus a Christmas special) and attracted such talent as Dave Stevens, Brian Bolland, Dan Spiegle, Denys Cowan, Bob Oksner, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Gene Colan, among others. Now, 40 years after it debuted, Elvira’s House of Mystery will be collected in full, with hardcover and paperback editions to be released in August by DC and Dynamite, which holds the Elvira license. Dig the official solicitation info: ELVIRA’S HOUSE OF MYSTERY (W) Various (A) Various (CA) Dave Stevens Elvira, everyone’s favorite Mistress of the Dark, first made a splash in comics in the 1986 series Elvira’s House of Mystery, originally published by DC Comics. Now, Dynamite collects this entire series for the very first time, with Elvira acting as hostess-with-the-mostest to these chilling tales of the macabre. This series includes eye-popping covers by Dave Stevens, Brian Bolland, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Denys Cowan, stories by legendary comics creators including Robert Kanigher and others, and more! Includes all eleven issues of Elvira’s House of Mystery plus the Elvira’s Haunted Holidays Special! One of the series’ highlights was Issue #3, which was not approved by the Comics Code because of its racy content. Naturally, it’s in this volume. The hardcover lists for $59.99, with softcover set at $49.99. Both are due Aug. 19. — MORE — DC COMICS to Offer SEVEN Facsimile Editions in SEPTEMBER. Click here. — WATCHMEN: DC to Release All 12 Issues as Monthly FACSIMILE EDITIONS. Click...

DARK KNIGHT RETURNS: FRANK MILLER’s Latest Homage Cover Is Electrifying

DARK KNIGHT RETURNS: FRANK MILLER’s Latest Homage Cover Is Electrifying

Another take on Issue #1… DC’s Facsimile Edition run this year of the four issues of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns featured a quartet of Frank Miller variant covers that took a spin on his original four covers from the 1986 series. Each one is creative and clever and you can check them out through the links below. In any event, he’s still going, with a DKR variant for September’s Batman #13, and this is just as badass as the others — and more than a little humorous. Check this out: I really hope he keeps going with these because each one is artful and compelling in a way that fits the DKR world, yet is completely different. By the way, DC in September is also publishing a WIP edition of Dark Knight Returns #1, showing off Miller and Klaus Janson’s original art in 11″ x 17″ size. Batman #13 is due Sept. 2. Miller’s card-stock variant lists for $5.99. — MORE — FRANK MILLER’s DARK KNIGHT RETURNS Facsimile Variant Is Pretty Badass.
