ENTER THE MAD HOUSE AT RED CIRCLE COMICS !!!


I came for the superheroe line-up, but stayed for the supernatural gems! 

Red Circle Comics Mad House led a terrific series of great supernatural comics. Again, here we get a series of awesome Gray Morrow covers. Although it only lasted for three issues, there was some tremendous stories there to thrill and enjoy.

From Mad House #96.

In addition, we get great writers such as Don (Star Wars) Glut & Marv Channing with talented artists the likes of Doug (Jonny Quest) Wildey, Gray Morrow, Bruce (Ka-Zar) Jones, Frank (Red Sonja) Thorne, Carlos Pino & Vicente Alcazar. Perfect for the supernaturalist in us!
