Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love #1

Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love #1 (On Sale: July 13, 1971), has a cover by George Ziel. This is our third new title of the month, though this one, and the whole gothic romance genre would not survive for long. The genre failed to catch on, but I give DC a lot of credit for attempting to expand what a comic book could be.

Unlike the rest of the DC line though, this book was all new. "The Mystery of the Missing Bride" is written by Dorothy Woolfolk and Ethan C. Mordden and drawn by Tony DeZuniga. Laura Chandler comes to Langfrey House to attend the funeral of her friend Bettina, and accepts an offer to live and work there so she can investigate how Bettina died. However, the many secrets of the Langfrey family may prove fatal to her before she can discover the truth.
