Amazing Stories of Suspense #139
In "The Fearful Fate of Mr. Foster," a screenwriter's wild pitch about haunted houses as portals for future time travelers is dismissed by a skeptical director—only for the writer to quietly breathe a sigh of relief, knowing he’s one of them. With art by Carl Burgos and lettering by Artie Simek, this 1974 tale from Alan Class delivers a chilling twist on time and fear. The cover, by Fred Kida, captures the eerie mood perfectly.
