Looker - The Lost Gold Mine Colin Thiele - The Ghost Of Gartenshmuck Jan Mark - Who's A Pretty Boy, Then?

Would anyone happen to have cover photos of Spooky Stories 2 thru 4 that they can post? Thanks! I don't, and I would like to see them too. I couldn't find them in any of the usual places; in fact, as far as I can tell the scans I posted for 5 and 6 are the only ones out there on the Internet.

Exactly the reason I am asking; no-one who has copies for sale seems to find it necessary to post photos. I know that Terry Oakes did the cover for Spooky Stories 5 and Les Edwards did #1. I beleive that Terry did #4 and at least 1 other in the series (cover to #4 is apparently an old 1-eyed witchy-looking woman).

Many thanks for posting those! I guess that elusive #3 will be the one with that old witch cover; I know I've seen it somewhere before.
