Adventures #15 is notable for a flashy cover by Ogden Whitney that features devilish-looking gargoyle-type creatures emerging from a crack in the ground to menace innocent human beings.
The corresponding story inside, The Ghostly Goths, is also illustrated by Ogden Whitney, and is typical of this title’s pre-code horror stories: more eerie than gross.
