Inside This Issue

#86 leans into the Amicus anthology craze with The House That Dripped Blood, the studio’s 1971 portmanteau of four tales of dread under one grim roof, plus a Werewolf of London reprint for ballast and a Vampirella ad on the back. A solid early-’70s British-horror issue.

☠ Collector's Notes

Check the back cover: the Vampirella ad makes Issue #86 a small artifact of the Warren empire expanding in real time — house ads are their own collecting lane, and this is a good one. Amicus’s dripping house anchors the front half.
