Anyone here familiar with this title? I have been collecting for 30 years and may have seen it, but I just don't remember. I found this a couple nights ago while on work travel in LA (The Comic Bug...Manhattan Beach. Great store.) The Gray Morrow cover is awesome...and the interior work is also pretty well done.

 

GCDB doesn't seem to have it...but I could have missed it. The guide says it was "previously Mad House Glads" which was an Archie book. Makes sense...this is a Red Circle book.

I love this micro-series, if only for the amazing logo. Plus they all have Gray Morrow art and covers. I believe this was at the same time Morrow as also doing Red Circle Sorcery.

 

It ran three issues - #95-97 - before reverting back to a traditional Archie series called Madhouse Comics. The GCDB lists these three issues under Madhouse Comics, though I think the indicia for these three says Mad House.

 

I have 95 and 97 but have yet to find a 96 in the wild, which is too bad, because 96 has a great cover.

The Archie's Madhouse title ran from 1-72, then became Madhouse Glads from 73-94. Issues 95-97 had the Red Circle branding with Gray Morrow covers, then the title went back to the traditional Archie branding and art and remained Madhouse(comics) until the series ended.
