Ghostly Haunts #29

In "The Pact of Satan," two gold prospectors strike it rich in the frozen wilds of northern Canada—only for greed to turn one against the other in a deadly betrayal. As the killer tries to escape the haunting guilt of his crime, the ghost of his victim begins to exact a chilling, unseen toll. Written by Joe Gill and drawn with eerie precision by Steve Ditko—both pencils and inks—this 1973 Charlton classic delivers a haunting tale of vengeance and remorse, with Ditko’s distinctive cover capturing the story’s dark, brooding atmosphere.
