Casper the Friendly Ghost #7

From Harvey Comics' 1952 run, this cheerful December issue puts a delightful spin on spooky imagery — Casper looks thoroughly startled as a yellow skeleton marionette dangles and clatters toward him against a vivid orange background, strings and all. It's a wonderfully playful visual gag: even the world's friendliest ghost can get a fright! A great snapshot of early 1950s all-ages comics charm featuring Paramount Pictures' beloved little specter.
