Unusual Tales #30

Charlton's Unusual Tales #30 from 1961 delivers the kind of eerie dread the anthology did so well — the cover by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio shows a terrified man engulfed by a glowing, amber-hued supernatural force, his face twisted in horror as he cries out "I...I...can't move...it's got me...it's power...OH NO!" Promised inside are at least two tales, "The Thing in the Ledge" and "A Small Matter of Time," alongside the feature story "Never Return," written by Joe Gill with Mastroserio handling both pencils and inks. At a still-ten-cents cover price, this is a satisfying October chill from one of the era's most prolific horror anthology titles.
