Casper the Friendly Ghost #22

Harvey Comics delivers a delightfully spooky scene on this 1954 issue, with Casper looking genuinely startled as he floats back from a gnarled, monstrous tree that appears to have a twisted, growling face of its own. The irony is charming — even the world's friendliest ghost can get a fright! At just a dime, this Paramount Pictures tie-in is a warm slice of mid-century all-ages comics fun.
