Ghost Manor #23

Charlton's Ghost Manor #23 (1975) delivers a cover that earns its "if you dare" challenge — a decayed, wild-haired corpse slumps in a wooden throne, its rotting form flanked by skulls, while a battered teddy bear with a red bow sits incongruously in its lap, a genuinely unsettling contrast of innocence and horror. A ghostly figure drifts in the upper left, deepening the atmosphere of creeping dread that Tom Sutton renders with remarkable detail. Inside, Joe Gill and Su Gumen bring you "Abide With Me" — all new stories for readers who like their chills served straight.
