HOUSE OF SECRETS #16 - A DC Comics publication from January, approved by the Comics Code Authority.
This issue features a quiz-show style premise where contestants answer questions to climb the ranks toward big prizes. The featured story "We Matched Wits with a Gorilla Genius!" showcases a battle of intelligence against an unexpectedly clever primate opponent, typical of the imaginative and often absurdist storytelling that defined DC's mystery and secrets anthology series of the Golden and early Silver Age.
The interior pages display "Zero Hour for Planet Earth," a science fiction tale depicting catastrophic destruction on a global scale, with vivid illustrations of spacecraft and environmental devastation. This story exemplifies the genre diversity found within House of Secrets, blending suspense, cosmic themes, and dramatic artwork that appealed to mid-century comics readers.
Also included is a vintage Daisy Manufacturing Company advertisement promoting their air rifles and toy guns as Christmas gifts, a common feature in comics of this era that reflects the marketing practices and cultural attitudes of the period.
