Powers may be most well known for his sci-fi covers (which are terrific), but these horror covers are AMAZING!

TERRIFIC paperback covers, Inkfink! Takes me back to the ads in Famous Monsters where they first appeared...GREAT to finally see what they look like in color. I have the Zach books, but none of the rest. Thanks for posting!

A few paperbacks  from the back of the Warren magazines ads. The CREEPY I had to re-buy a few years ago to replace the one Mom sold.

We only got a little bit of water in our basement after Hurricane Irene, but unfortunately, I had a couple of books already pulled out to share in this thread and they ended up falling in the water.  The books were shot, but I held onto the covers and dried them out so that I could still share them. 

I never got around to reading this book, but the cover shows a very non-generic werewolf. 


This second one features a very Karloff-y Dr. Moreau.

David Case has two other novels of interest to horror fans: "Fengriffen" was adapted into 1973's "And Now the Screaming Starts!", and "The Hunter" was the basis for the Dan Curtis telefilm "Scream of the Wolf" (1974).

Oh, don't worry.  It's dry enough here now.  It was a freak thing that these books fell into the water.  All my other books are just fine.  Besides, if I sent them to Kansas, they might land in Oz.   :D
