Ghost Manor #67

Charlton's long-running horror anthology returns with issue #67, and Tom Sutton's cover sets an unmistakably chilling tone: a skeletal, purple-robed figure brandishing a knife looms in the foreground while, in the flickering glow of a burning cityscape, a small girl in a red dress flees into the fog — her speech bubble twisting the nursery rhyme "Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick, Jack…" into something far more ominous. Inside, writer Michael Pellowski and artist Steve Ditko deliver "A Bone to Pick," promising the kind of offbeat, atmospheric storytelling Ditko brought to Charlton's horror titles throughout 1983. If you've ever wanted to visit Ghost Manor, the cover dares you to step right in.
