He seemed to do better with single illustrations, as evidenced by his work in THE STUDIO and some of his comic book covers. I liked the asymmetrical design of the female enforcer's glasses. If only the inks were more polished! A bit rough, and the ending was a bit heavy-handed. Not a classic, but definitely overlooked. This was in the final issue of WEIRD MYSTERY TALES before the book folded. Some of Kaluta's finest work was done around the same time for THE SWORDS OF SHAHRAZAR.
