Ghost Manor #9

Charlton's Ghost Manor #9 from 1969 serves up atmospheric dread with a cover by Sanho Kim that dominates the eye — a leering, wraith-like face looms enormous over a fog-shrouded marsh, where a solitary cottage sits half-swallowed by mist and shadowy figures race across the waterlogged ground. That glowing orb drifting beside the apparition adds just the right touch of supernatural unease, perfectly suited to a title billing itself as "Echoes of the Spirit World." With a story titled "Lost in the Fog…" waiting inside, this 15-cent issue promises the kind of eerie Charlton horror that made the publisher's mystery line a staple of the spinner rack.
