Talk about scoring a hit! “Congratulations, Mr. Bates–It’s a Warlock!” was a short story I wrote that was inspired by the 1979 film Kramer vs. Kramer, that appeared in House of Mystery #294 (July 1981). The hit came in editor Karen Berger’s assignment of the art to a pair of legendary artists, George Tuska and Tony De Zuniga. Add lettering by Todd Klein and coloring by Jerry Serpe, and an average little “mystery” tale turns into a thing of beauty!

These kind of stories are why I love 70’s/80’s horror titles. This one is especially good. I laughed when I saw that Cain was the Court Bailiff.
