Doorway to Nightmare No. 1 Cover by Michael Wm Kaluta
Designed by cover illustrator Michael Wm Kaluta, Madame Xanadu made her first appearance in this comic.
Unlike the typical comics horror host, Xanadu was a supporting character in stories, and has remained an interesting part of the DC horror universe.
