“Startling Stories,” Vol. 21, No. 1 (March, 1950). Uncredited cover art (likely by Earle Bergey) for “The Lady is a Witch” by Norman A, Daniels.
“By the author of ‘Speak of the Devil’ and ‘The Great Ego,’ ‘The Lady is a Witch’ is another fantasy that would have been more at home in the pages of ‘Unknown’ or ‘Weird Tales,’ much better than his earlier efforts, and obviously written in imitation of Thorne Smith’s posthumous novel ‘The Passionate Witch,’ that tells of the various strange antics of a witch in our modern world and which inspired among other things, the marvelous TV series of the sixties, ‘Bewitched,’ starring Elizabeth Montgomery, Agnes Moorehead and Dick York.” [From the “Annotated Guide to Startling Stories’ (Wildside Press, 1986)]
American pulp fiction writer Norman A. Daniels (1905-1995) worked in pulp magazines, radio and television.
