Casper the Friendly Ghost #27

This October 1994 Harvey issue finds everyone's favorite friendly ghost in a charmingly relatable situation — Casper is at a video rental store, cheerfully handing a copy of the movie Ghost to a wide-eyed, startled clerk who clearly wasn't expecting a real ghost to show up at the counter. The cover's playful humor is hard to resist, with a "New Releases" display and a drop-slot return box adding to the everyday setting that makes Casper's supernatural presence all the funnier. Plus, the cover banner promises a confrontation with the evil Shadowmaker in "The Ghostly Monster," giving readers both a laugh and a reason to keep turning pages.
