Ghostly Haunts #27

Charlton's Ghostly Haunts #27 delivers a memorably eerie November 1972 cover by Steve Ditko, featuring a towering, luminous green specter rising from a graveyard while a group of startled onlookers below scramble in alarm — one even pointing a camera at the apparition, as if documentation could somehow help. The speech balloon's wry declaration, "I'll Never Forget What's-His-Name!" gives the whole supernatural scene a darkly comic edge that Charlton's horror anthologies did so well. Inside, Wayne Howard — handling writing, art, inking, and lettering all on his own — brings you "Hermit of Brimstone Cave!," making this a neatly self-contained package of spirit-world storytelling.
