The 340 cipher was sent November 1969:
One year later, the Halloween Card was sent with the key and all the clues:
Front & Back
Inside
There are 3 references to the Tim Holt Comic LADY DOOM AND THE DEATH WHEEL
The skeleton is wearing a RED MASK
On the left side are the words "YOU ARE DOOMED'
On Lady Doom's Death Wheel and on the back of the Halloween Card are the words:
BY FIRE
BY ROPE
BY GUN
BY KNIFE
Researcher Jos Kirps originally suspected the Halloween Card as a clue by finding a recurrence of 'BY' in the cipher and proposed the rest would eventually be decoded.
I propose a solution to the 340 cipher by viewing the cipher in mirror and using the symbol from the return address as a key:
BY FIRE
BY ROPE
BY GUN
BY KNIFE
