Astounding Stories #89
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Mystery Island!" delivers a delightfully eerie tale from 1972, where a boy's life takes a supernatural turn when a ghost intervenes in his cruel upbringing. Written by Bob Standish and brought to life with moody, expressive art by Chic Stone, the story unfolds in a haunted house where the unexpected becomes a guardian. The cover, a striking piece by Ogden Whitney, captures the mystery and wonder of the tale.
In "The Proper Spirit!" from *Astounding Stories* #89 (1972), two crooks exploit a young boy for coin, but when they take shelter in a haunted house one stormy night, the boy’s quiet presence draws the attention of a ghost who has no interest in theft—only in raising him. The crooks flee in terror, leaving the boy behind with a spirit who may have a far kinder purpose than they ever imagined.
