Then, in a shocking twist that you didn’t see coming …
it turns out that the stories are written by R. Chetwynd-Hayes!

Hitchcock blonde.

My personal favorite is the little monopthalmus in the top right corner doing yoga.

“Would I? Would I?”
“Hare lip! Hare lip!”

I love Hieronymus Bloch!

@BC: LOL. I remember that joke.

Note on author: “Contents creepy and disturbing. Do not jostle or agitate. Keep away from children and pretentious critics.”
@fred: a bogey woman? I dunno what that pink thing she’s facing is supposed to be, and it somewhat disturbs me.
@Ryan: I rather like the somewhat Escheresque use of negative space, with the dark spaces between the muddy yellow monsters being further monsters (and possibly an evil wizard)

I thought this was a good cover. But it’s snot.

So it was 40c 60 years ago, and someone still wants 25c? I think not. Particularly with the price blobbed onto it, ruining whatever retro value it might have.
Anyhow, good to see Rick D. here again.
The pink bit on the left looks a bit like an ear (with a painful piercing) so we can’t rule out that some of the melting faces are earwax.
@Ryan: ISTM that when you find yourself surrounded by melting snot monsters, a bit of yoga might be helpful. +1 for “monopthalmos” over “cyclops”.

Bogey Men? Can’t be – I don’t see any golf clubs or beer cart….

I thought it said “Boogie Man” — the cover looks a lot like the 1970s basement rec room style recording studio for KC and the Sunshine Band. Except the horn section in the song is awesome, and the cover isn’t.

@ JJYoyo, Bruce: Ahem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fAjyFbyb4o
That was the 30s; by 2000 yelling about snot was a lot less polite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt_farHgMfM
(And in case you missed every British-made WWII film from the 1950s, ‘Bogies’ was how the RAF referred to Nazi planes; equating them with snot seemed appropriately infantile.)

Thoroughly enjoyed the lack of focal point and hidden faces/figures that weren’t a figment of my overactive pareidolia. Also reminds me of the curiously abundant earwax extraction vids on YouTube.

Wondering if the artist had an URI with a high fever shortly before painting this.
Also, is the thing the woman’s… hand? is on another face, or a grumpy bird?
