The front cover of the 1965 first Four Square Edition paperback of The Black Spectacles by John Dickson Carr. The cover has a striking mid-century design: a cream upper half with the title in bold black block type and 'John Dickson Carr' in white on blue, and a bold blue and purple lower half showing a silhouetted figure of a man sprawled as if dead. 'A FOUR SQUARE CRIME BOOK' and the price '3/6' appear at the top. A teaser quote reads 'I do not like thee, Dr. Fell. The reason why I cannot tell.'
