So was Ekgren. Great story of how the Ekgren artwork came to  grace the covers.

If you've got the time, I'd love to hear it...

The publisher (Archer St. John) was walking in Greenwich Village when he saw several pieces of Ekgren’s art. Ekgren was reputedly schizophrenic, trying to make a bit of cash by selling his visionary/outsider art. He had never done any comic book work. Publisher bought said works and used them as covers to weird terrors and strange horrors. No relation to interior stories. I believe there’s only a total of three Ekgren covers.
