Ghost Stories #13

Dell's Ghost Stories serves up another helping of the uncanny with this March 1966 issue, whose cover promises tales that "nothing on earth can explain." Frank Springer's cover art is a genuinely unsettling piece: a massive, leering skull looms over a racing circuit where a terrified driver screams "Aiieeeee!! It can't be happening to me!" as race cars careen and one vehicle bursts into flames amid a packed grandstand — all tied together by the ominous tagline "The Deadly Last Race." It's a vivid snapshot of early-'60s horror-anthology style at its most atmospheric, blending the everyday thrill of motorsport with something far more chilling lurking at the finish line.
