The Occult Files of Dr. Spektor #14

This Gold Key chiller from 1975 finds Dr. Spektor caught squarely in the grip of something ancient and enormous — massive, otherworldly hands reach in from the foreground to seize him as he strains against their crushing force, while a dark-haired woman in a fringed dress looks on from the shadows of a crumbling stone chamber. The cover copy promises Spektor will battle "a hero from the past in the Cavern of the Dark Gods," lending the scene an atmosphere of mythic, subterranean dread that Jesse Santos renders with striking painterly intensity. Fans of Gold Key's supernatural titles will find this a genuinely atmospheric entry in the series.
