Been meaning to mention…the covers are great but the contents never live up to them. Dunno if it’s today’s standards or they just can’t…
I think you’re right about that, and I really don’t know why.
I mean, it’s clear that the artists who worked on these covers put a great deal of both craft and imagination into them, and it does puzzle me why writers couldn’t seem to match them.
Why are minions always in red cowls? Is it a union thing?
Dunno, but it does seem to be an almost-constant thing with Terror Tales, across some years of publication and different artists. Maybe that’s just the way the commissioning editor thought about the trope.
