Thanks for the kind words, Dem.
Btw, a question for all posters.. As I used Photobucket after a long time, is this nowadays always such a chore or is it just my connection and PC? I didn't count but I think the site crashed at least half a dozen time before I got this scan ready to post. Is there a trick?

Had no difficulties with ph*t*b*cket until recent upgrade to Windows 10. Now my problem is the opposite of yours in that I can upload fine, but my computer freezes whenever I try to download anything hosted on there. While I'm here: Manly Wade Wellman - The Dead Man's Hand ( Weird Tales, Nov. 1944) August Derleth - Glory Hand ( Weird Tales, Feb. 1937) H. D. Everett - Fingers Of A Hand ( The Death Mask & Other Ghosts, 1920: The Crimson Blind & Other Stories

Thanks Mr. Fanatic, will drift some of them up over coming days. How are you on horror covers featuring phantom, disembodied or severed legs? I've been racking my brains for examples, but so far, so ... stumped. *see your PMs*

Phrased this badly. Had this scan already in my PB library. When I tried to go to the page and get the linkcode, it kept crashing. Although I use still Windows 7. I won't do the upgrade.

Still no luck with Justin Dowling's legendary The Legs That Walked, but here's the same author on diabolical form with The Living Eyes, Weird Tales, May, 1953. Mrs. Weir's bloodshot orbs, "so prominent, grotesque, hideous and terrifying," may steal the headlines, but it's her dead, useless hands perform the dirty work ....

I was literally just searching the net for info. on The Legs That Walked, seems to be very difficult to get hold of. All I can find is a $20 copy of weird Tales Nov. 1953, which along with postage etc would make it at least $25, and that's even supposing they would ship here. Not that I can justify spending that sort of money on one magazine anyway, much as I'd love to.

Much, much more affordable. Mr. Happy

Thank you for that info 'mrhappy', I was wondering if it had appeared in an anthology somewhere.

For a second there, I was worried Ramsey has been playing a cruel trick on us, and The Legs That Walked can't be all that rubbish. Then I remembered that E. W. Mayo's Dream Justice has been anthologised at least twice. Panic over.

This looks like a likely suspect, ...and this has a nice big hand too,
