Strange Suspense Stories #64

Charlton's Strange Suspense Stories #64 delivers a genuinely unsettling cover by Dick Giordano, split between two chilling scenes: on the left, a doctor desperately attends to a man laid out on a bed while a horrified woman cries "Oh no!" at the news that her husband is choking to death, and on the right, a pale-faced doll in a red suit slumps ominously in the shadows. The cover teaser — "Was it a doll? Or was it something more?" — points toward the featured tale, "Anna's Doll," promising the kind of eerie, slow-burn tension that made Charlton's mystery anthologies a staple of 1963 spinner racks.
