Professor Coffin

Professor Coffin is a macabre horror host for Charlton Comics, presiding over eerie anthology tales in titles such as Ghost Manor, Ghostly Tales, and Ghostly Haunts alongside fellow supernatural compères Mr. Bones, Winnie the Witch, and Mr. L. Dedd.

Charlton Comics had a knack for conjuring memorable macabre hosts during the Bronze Age, and Professor Coffin — debuting in Haunted Love #8 in 1975 from the pen of Pete Morisi — is one of the publisher's more delightfully sinister presences. Haunting the pages of Ghost Manor, Ghostly Tales, and Ghostly Haunts, the Professor keeps wonderfully eerie company alongside the likes of Mr. Bones, Winnie the Witch, and the aptly named Mr. L. Dedd. With only nine catalog appearances, he's a genuine rarity for the dedicated Charlton horror enthusiast — the kind of obscure Bronze Age gem that makes digging through spinner-rack survivors so rewarding.
