Ghost Manor #2

Charlton's Ghost Manor brings its eerie "Echoes of the Spirit World" anthology back for a second issue in 1968, and the cover — penciled and inked by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio — sets a genuinely unsettling mood. A colorful parrot takes flight inside a massive iron cage while a terrified man cowers below and a ghostly woman's face looms enormous behind the bars, gripping them with wide, haunted eyes. The cover teases a tale called "Witness to a Murder, Polly the Parrot!" with the tantalizing question: "Real… or a mad dream?" — making this a fine pick for fans of supernatural mystery done with that distinctive late-'60s Charlton flair.
