Ghost Manor #15

Charlton's Ghost Manor #15 brings another round of supernatural unease in November 1970, with a Steve Ditko cover that splits the scene between two unsettling figures — a dark-haired, wide-eyed woman clutching a whip on the left, and a half-exposed, fur-caped warrior bearing a torch and scepter on the right — while a coiled cobra lurks in the foreground and a banner proclaims "An Ancient Glory." Ditko's angular draftsmanship gives the composition a genuinely eerie, split-world atmosphere perfectly suited to a title subtitled Echoes of the Spirit World. Inside, writer Joe Gill delivers "Search for a Victim!" — a title that doesn't exactly promise a quiet evening.
