HOUSE OF HAMMER NO. 12 (PART 1)



Behind another great cover by Brian Lewis is the conclusion of the illustrated adaptation of THE GORGON. Text articles cover EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC, KISS OF THE TARANTULA (SHUDDER in the UK), THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION, FRANKENSTEIN ON FILM, horror films in the UK in 1934, WITCHFINDER GENERAL and WELCOME TO BLOOD CITY. Closing out the issue is a strip with a riff on a Pink Floyd album title, "The Demon at the Gates of Dawn", written and illustrated by Steve Parkhouse.

NOTE: The page orientation on this scan was a little wonky so the quality isn't up to the usual.
