This was one of my favourite magazines back in the 1970s.

The House of Hammer was a UK magazine, which originally ran from 1976 to 1978. It went through a few name changes along the way, becoming Hammer’s House of Horror, then Hammer’s Halls of Horror. Its unique selling point was that it featured black and white comic strip versions of classic Hammer horror movies along with Hammer-related articles. 

The magazine adapted 18 Hammer films into comic form in total. Plus over time it also began to include original stories featuring characters from the Hammer canon, notably including vampire hunter Van Helsing’s Terror Tales and Father Shandor, who was originally the protagonist in Dracula Prince of Darkness. 

The standard of illustration was in general excellent, and contributors included many of the UK’s top comic artists. I still have all the issues from the initial run with the exception of the very first, which featured  the 1958 Dracula.

Here is a typical example, featuring a comic strip version of Hammer’s first notable foray into horror, The Quatermass Xperiment.
