'''Weird Mystery Tales''' was a
mystery (
horror)
anthology from
DC Comics, which ran from July 1972-November 1975. It was originally hosted by
Destiny, but was gradually taken over by
Eve, who fully assumed the title with issue #15 (December 1974-January 1975).
Early issues printed material by
Jack Kirby that had been intended for his black and white, magazine-size DC comic, ''
Spirit World'', which lasted only one issue. These stories featured Dr. E. Leopold Maas as host, sometimes with an appended hosting segment by Destiny.
