Ghost Manor #45

Charlton's long-running horror anthology returns with issue #45, and the cover by Wayne Howard sets an delightfully unsettling tone — a top-hatted, gaunt figure identified as Coffin the Great Magician stands beside a fishnets-clad woman named Arachne, a cabinet bristling with swords looming behind them as a grandfather clock watches from the shadows. The magician's speech bubble reassures Arachne he's "done this trick dozens of times before," while her thought bubble darkly wonders if he'll finally get it right this time. With Nicola Cuti scripting and Howard handling every artistic duty on the interior story "One For the Devil," this 1979 issue promises the kind of macabre showmanship that made Ghost Manor a reliable stop for horror fans.
