House of Mystery #151 is an issue of the series House of Mystery (Volume 1) with a cover date of June, 1965.
Synopsis for "The Doom from Two Worlds"
On the night of the full moon, J'onn J'onzz and Zook witness the arrival of a winged beast and assume it is the latest menace from the Idol-Head of Diabolu. It opens a space-warp and forces the Manhunter and itself into another dimension. There, aliens train a ray on the Martian that transforms him into a duplicate of the creature, enabling him to better battle it, though he blasts their ray-gun with an eyebeam. They restore the creature to a harmless form, tell the Manhunter that the winged creature was being bred as a beast of burden, and that they transformed him into a similar creature to put him on an equal footing with the beast. However, J'onzz finds that he cannot transform himself back to his Martian identity, and their reverser-ray was damaged when J'onzz blasted it. However, he does have power to open a warp into Earth's dimension, where a fire-creature from the Diabolu head is menacing Zook. He warps himself and the fire-being into the other dimension and destroys it with the repaired freeze-ray of the aliens', and then uses the ray to transform himself back to his Martian identity. Then he returns to Earth.
