Ghost Manor #36

Charlton's Ghost Manor #36 (March 1978) dares you to step inside with a cover by Sanho Kim that crackles with supernatural menace — a determined man shouts "You fiends, release her!" as a skeletal apparition carries off a woman who cries out "Johnny, help me!" while eerie figures close in from the shadows. The bold, flame-lit composition perfectly captures the anthology's signature blend of horror and desperate heroism. With Joe Gill scripting and Sanho Kim handling virtually every artistic duty inside as well, this is a fine example of Charlton's late-seventies horror output firing on all cylinders.
