Ghostly Haunts #32

Charlton's Ghostly Haunts #32 pulls you straight into dread with Pat Boyette's cover — a tormented, aged face dominates the foreground while a snarling, bestial creature lunges nearby, and a dark-caped sorceress looks on with an unsettling smile. The tagline promises that someone "put it all together… and it destroyed him" in the featured tale "The Workshop," with Joe Gill and Steve Ditko bringing their own macabre sensibilities to the interior story "The Shetabi Legend." For twenty cents in 1973, this Charlton anthology delivered the kind of atmospheric horror that made Ghostly Haunts a reliable chill on the newsstand.
