*Horror 1940-1959: Two stunners this week from Avon’s short-lived, but long-remembered, series Witchcraft, a horror anthology featuring the talents of Hollingsworth, Meskin, Roussos, Kinstler, Lazarus, Fawcette and more. In stories such as ‘Diary of a Monster!’ ‘The Man Who Bribed Death!’ and ‘Mystery of the Venus Flyer’, our beleaguered protagonists face beheadings, hangings and the good old threat of being cooked alive – and these being Pre-Code terror tales, there’s no guarantee that anyone makes it to story’s end alive! Both these issues have eye-catching and imaginative cover scenes, though if pushed, we’d have to give the nod to #4’s ‘Cannibal Death’ cover. Neither has any flaws other than the general age-related wear indicated by the grade – perhaps a bit more corner and edge wear on the #6 than the #4, but both are sound and strong copies for their years.
