The uncredited cover art for Signet 689 dates from the company's pre-Avati period and features cartoonish tableaux of two tough guys scuffling, with screaming redhead nearby. Fun to compare the cover art of this version with the 1959 reprint [Signet 1677] by Bayre Phillips. I like the later version better.
