Casper the Friendly Ghost #19

Even the friendliest ghost can have a rough day when the rain comes pouring down — the cover of this 1954 Harvey issue shows Casper clutching a red umbrella as a heavy downpour splashes all around him, raindrops splattering every which way while he presses gamely onward. A tiny Casper vignette waves cheerfully from the upper corner, reinforcing the warm, playful spirit that made Paramount Pictures' ghostly star such a beloved figure. At just ten cents, this is a delightful snapshot of mid-1950s all-ages comics charm.
