Casper the Friendly Ghost #60

Harvey Comics' beloved Paramount Pictures ghost finds himself in quite the predicament on this 1957 cover — Casper is trapped inside a large, melting block of ice while a cheerful anthropomorphic sun beams down overhead, seemingly responsible for the whole soggy situation. The image perfectly captures Casper's endearing mix of mild frustration and wide-eyed charm, making it hard not to smile along with him. At just ten cents, Casper the Friendly Ghost #60 offers that warm, gentle humor that made Harvey Comics a staple of the era.
