Spine Roll: Classic Tony Mortellaro cover featuring skeletons tormenting a woman on a wheel, predating Hy Fleishman's similar cover to Dark Mysteries #19 by two years. Cover artist Mortellaro seems to have misunderstood the medieval torture method known as "breaking on the wheel," which involved lashing the condemned person to a large wagon wheel and beating their limbs with an iron cudgel.
