is an occult and horror-themed ongoing comic book anthology series based on the classic House of Mystery series that ran from 1951 to 1983. It is written by Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges (writers of the Eisner-nominated Jack of Fables). It debuted in July 2008, published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics. It features a different story each issue, told by people trapped in a "purgatory-like" House of Mystery. They are gathered in the house bar where everyone must pay for their drinks with stories, and no one can leave without being picked up by the house's mysterious coachman. None of the house's occupants are sure why some people might get to leave and others not, so each person's stay is at least ostensibly eternal until the coachman inexplicably turns up to take them away. This doesn't stop some of the inhabitants from trying to get out. One of the characters in the series, Cain (of Cain and Abel), continually attempts to return to the House of Mystery, his home in the Dreaming (a fictional place; a comic book location in the DC Comics Universe; the domain of Dream of the Endless in Neil Gaiman's The Sandman). This issue is entitled "Entropy", part one of the story arc, " The Beauty of Decay."

is an all-new ongoing take on the classic bi-monthly series of the same title from EC Comics that stopped publication with its February/March 1955 issue. The nomenclature V2 (for Volume 2) used herein distinguishes it from the original EC Comics series. It is currently published by Papercutz, a new graphic novel publishing company originally targeted for tweens 8-14, launched in the Spring of 2005 with the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, but which is obviously expanding into more mature fare with this series. Although admittedly still aimed towards its original market by its stylized near-cartoonish artwork, as homage to EC Comics publisher William Gaines and classic series co-creator Al Feldstein, it remains true to form. It even includes the EC Comics logo on its cover--used with permission, of course--and is now beginning to gain a following from a broad spectrum of readers. Each issue features two 20-page tales of terror in the EC tradition, narrated by the original Crypt-Keeper, Old Witch, and Vault Keeper. By the way if you think this 13th issue somehow seems different, don't worry; it's a parody.
