I've always been curious about what exactly was going on on this cover. I see a porthole so I assume they are on a ship and the man is the captain or mate. But the smokey demon and ten dollar bills? (shrug)

Well, if I recall...guy with magic mirror conjures up a demon and sends him to a tugboat captain who is preparing to shortchange him on a deal. :shy:

The value of a ten dollar bill in the early 1950's was roughly equal to $90.00 to $100.00 in today's dollars depending on the year. So the cover is actually being used to show it's a lot of cash.

 

Looking at it from today's perspective of a ten dollar bills value won't work.
