Maxie Ghost

Maxie Ghost is a humor character from Charlton Comics, appearing as part of the lighthearted ensemble cast in the Timmy the Timid Ghost series alongside characters like Wilma Witch and Tom Cat. The series offered gentle, comedic supernatural antics rather than horror.

Haunting the lighter side of comics since 1956, Maxie Ghost is a Charlton Comics creation who drifted onto the scene in Timmy the Timid Ghost #5 and stuck around for nearly three decades of spooky-cute fun. Part of a wonderfully offbeat ensemble that includes Timmy the Timid Ghost, Wilma Witch, and Tom Cat, Maxie found a home in Charlton's charming humor titles — a corner of the Golden Age that doesn't always get its due but rewarded loyal readers with genuine warmth and whimsy. With appearances stretching from 1956 all the way to 1985, this little ghost is a quiet testament to Charlton's knack for building cozy, kid-friendly worlds that outlasted the era that created them — well worth a look for any collector with a soft spot for the publisher's endearingly scrappy catalog.
