This electrifying design captures the chilling essence of "When the Grave Was Opened," as featured in the November 1957 issue of Courage magazine. The artwork embodies the magazine's pulp-fiction spirit, promising a thrill for fans of vintage adventure and horror.
Visual Narrative

The open grave creates an immediate visual impact, symbolizing the story's focus on mystery, horror, and forbidden knowledge.
Symbolism and Style

Other common pulp style elements are likely incorporated, such as exaggerated facial expressions or bold typography with a "slab-serif" font style. The color palette would be rich and dramatic to evoke a mood of dread.
