Amazing Stories of Suspense #176

In "The Fearful Fate of Mr. Foster," a screenwriter pitches a wild theory to a director—that haunted houses are portals for time travelers from the future—only to realize, with quiet relief, that his own secret is safe. Written and illustrated by Carl Burgos, with lettering by Artie Simek, this eerie 1979 tale from Alan Class blends speculative fiction and suspense. The cover by Fred Kida captures the story’s unsettling tone with a striking, shadowed image of a man staring into a haunted doorway.
