Ghost Manor #25

Charlton's long-running horror anthology returns with issue #25, and Steve Ditko's cover sets an unsettling tone immediately — a terrified worker in coveralls plummets helplessly through a steel framework, his hard hat and wrench tumbling free, while a massive luminous green phantom looms over the cityscape below with a ghoulish grin. It's the kind of eerie, vertigo-inducing image that made mid-seventies Charlton horror genuinely compelling. Inside, Joe Gill and Pat Boyette bring the spooky goods with a tale called "Bones!" — reason enough to accept the cover's invitation and visit Ghost Manor… if you dare.
