Ghost Manor #26

Charlton's Ghost Manor dares you to step inside with this unsettling 1975 cover by Pat Boyette, depicting a masked, muscular figure raising an axe over a struggling woman atop a stone altar carved with a demonic face, while a robed, sinister-looking man observes from the shadows clutching what appears to be an open book. The atmosphere is genuinely creepy — gargoyle faces loom at the edges, and a hooded specter lurks in the background, reinforcing the manor's promise of dark rituals and dread. Inside, Joe Gill and Steve Ditko bring you "Curse of the Kolukoffs," making this an appealing package for fans of Charlton's atmospheric horror anthologies.
