Ghost Stories #24

Dell's Ghost Stories serves up an unsettling scene on this 1970 cover: a bearded artist works at his easel, brush in hand, apparently oblivious to the towering, shrouded specter looming directly behind him — while a wild-haired, wide-eyed old woman watches from the side. The painting on the easel reveals a young woman's portrait, and the cover copy says it all: "The Artist Painted What He Saw… A Ghost!" With a story titled "To My Killer with Affection," this issue promises the kind of eerie, atmospheric suspense that made Dell's supernatural anthology a satisfying read for fans of the macabre.
