Arachne Coffin

Arachne Coffin is a horror-anthology hostess from Charlton's Bronze Age supernatural titles, appearing across Ghost Manor, Ghostly Haunts, and Ghostly Tales alongside fellow hosts like Dr. Graves and Professor Coffin to introduce eerie short stories.

Stepping out of Charlton's beloved Bronze Age horror anthology scene, Arachne Coffin made her debut in Haunted Love #8 in 1975, the creation of Pete Morisi — a name that carries real weight among collectors who know their Charlton history. She's a rare figure in that wonderfully atmospheric corner of comics, surfacing across titles like Ghost Manor, Ghostly Haunts, and Ghostly Tales, sharing those shadowy pages with the likes of Dr. Graves, Baron Weirwulf, and Professor Coffin. With only seven catalog appearances, she's the kind of elusive Bronze Age discovery that makes digging through old Charlton runs so rewarding — a genuine hidden gem for anyone who loves the eerie, pulpy charm that defined an era.
