In "The Ghost Town Terror," a 1948 Harvey Comics classic, the arrival of a film crew in the eerie Indian Bone Gulch sets off a chilling scheme—crooks using ghostly disguises to drive them off after reopening the town's long-abandoned gold mine. Penciled and inked by Lee Elias, the story blends frontier suspense with supernatural flair, all rendered in the distinctive style that defined early comic book horror.

In "The Ghost Town Terror," when a film crew arrives in the abandoned Indian Bone Gulch to shoot a Western, they’re met with more than just dusty streets—crooks who’ve reopened the old gold mine are using ghostly tricks to drive them off. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by the artist behind the series, the story blends frontier grit with a touch of supernatural suspense.
