STRANGE TALES OF THE UNUSUAL "Five Sinister Statues"

Does "madness" lie within a tale...
...where the kool Bill Everett-rendered cover illustration doesn't match the interior art by Richard Doxsee?
The statues in this never-reprinted tale from Atlas' Strange Tales of the Unusual #11 (1957) resemble Indo-Chinese (Siamese or Laotian) sculptures, unlike the ones on the cover, which look decidedly-Chinese!
Makes you wonder which came first, and how long it was between the cover and the story actually being drawn!
Sadly, we'll never know the answer, since none of the creatives involved are still alive!
