Ghost Special #3

Ghost Special #3 — subtitled "Scary Monsters" — arrives as a meaty 48-page Dark Horse edition with cover art by H. M. Baker and Bernard Köllé that wastes no time setting a tense, unsettling mood. The cover depicts a wounded young woman in white, blood streaking her arm and clothing, sprawled across scattered occult documents and a pentagram diagram while a looming dark figure closes in — all set against a backdrop of crammed bookshelves bearing titles like Malleus Maleficarum and other arcane volumes. With Lee Swank writing and Baker on interior art, this 1998 special promises a story — "Mayfly!" — that matches the cover's atmosphere of dread and supernatural peril.
