Only one story Leroy-lettered in this issue. Only one story therein is handlettered. Could this be work from outside to fill the book? The castle in that horrible nightmare I had! Leroy lettering is still on the lookout. One story and both fillers now. In the first place, someone credited it to Lou Cameron which I refuse to believe.
I imagine it could be Paul Parker on pencils. The first person narrative and the possible artwork by Parker leads me to believe that this could very well be a reprint. Anyone out there can help? The suspected Parker reprint is nonsense. And it maaaay be early and bad Cameron on pencils.

He will play an artful second fiddle in the next years. His style blends perfectly in with the rest of the staff; he will remain faithful to the horror titles, and illustrate some striking stories. The cover depicts a scene which would have been suited to the first story. A popular filler plot is already chewed for the umpteenth time in this issue.
A person makes a promise, but dies before the promise can be redeemed. And this is really a low point in Ace horror: A kid, a horse, an accident… Sorry, nodded off there for a moment. First credit for Mario Rizzi. This guy appeared to be just a phantom for a long while.
There is no proof. Welcome to the pains of art spotting. Luckily Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. Why must you drag us forth? Cover is based loosely on the second story, only the scenery is different. Which means it is up to date. He will contribute from now on as a regular. I find it hard to acquire a taste for Molno. However, his long faces with the blank expressions are easy to identify. He wrecks his brain, he has a smoke and as he steps into the elevator, he is transported into the realm of dolls, who seek their master… Awwww, come on!
The cover is not that easy to spot. I spontaneously attributed it to Ken Rice. Mike Sekowsky is twice involved here. Oddity in this issue: From spring to the beginning of Ace is putting out more books then ever before. But proves very entertaining in its imbecility.

I never heard of this guy, but maybe we can hang those gruesome four worst ever! Another artist rumored to have been with Ace in is Doug Wildey. I did not come across him looking through the stories, but he could be involved in these off-beat covers.
Good reference for Wildey is: The third Ace horror comic book to be completely lettered with Leroy. On my second tour through these books I could spot him as Sy Grudko. Phoenix 1 — Gene Colan? A rule by now: The other horror books have now embarked on this course, too. Comics historian Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. It is unusual indeed.
It is conceivable that Colan has been presented with this drawing — and signed it on the fly.
