| Great cover.
This one has everything.
A ghost, the moon, haunted house, shrunken heads, a mysterious figure hidden in the mist in the background, tree with hand-like limbs, gravestones, girl in a red dress and to top it off she's carrying a gun. How could you not pick this up from the news-stand?
Sheer Genius!
And does not one of those gravestones read, 'Maurice Whitman?' |
