Ghost Manor #60

Charlton's long-running horror anthology reaches issue #60 with a Steve Ditko cover that crackles with macabre energy — a cackling, purple-suited figure commands center stage amid a mob of ghoulish, reaching hands, while flames and a massive serpentine coil loom ominously in the background. A skull-faced specter lurks at the edge of the chaos, and a caption promises fifty years of waiting have finally come to a sinister end. With Joe Gill scripting and Ditko handling both pencils and inks on the interior story "A Dead Man's Eyes," this 1981 issue is a fine showcase of the eerie, expressive storytelling that made Ghost Manor a staple of Charlton's horror line.
