Ghost Stories #30

Dell's Ghost Stories serves up exactly what the title promises — a hooded skeletal specter looms large over a darkened haunted house, bats wheeling through the stormy night sky and bare, twisted trees framing the scene with quiet dread. The tagline "Inside the Silent Walls Lies a Secret Only the Ghost Knows!" sets a wonderfully atmospheric tone for the "Image of Evil" story within, crafted by writer Carl Memling with art and inks by Frank Springer. For fans of eerie, atmospheric horror comics, this 1971 Dell issue delivers genuine spine-tingling mood straight from its cover to its pages.
