Ghostly Haunts #43

Charlton's Ghostly Haunts delivers another chill from the "Echoes of the Spirit World" in this 1975 installment, with a Pat Boyette cover that sets a genuinely unsettling mood — a gaunt, grinning figure seated in a dimly lit chamber reaches toward a dark bird perched before him, while a foreboding castle looms in the moonlit background and a ghostly female apparition haunts the upper corner. Inside, writer Joe Gill and artist Steve Ditko bring their sharp storytelling instincts to "Invitation," a title that promises something sinister lurking behind a seemingly simple gesture.
