Ghostly Haunts #51

Charlton's Ghostly Haunts #51 delivers a genuinely unsettling cover from Rich Larson, depicting two men who've broken into what appears to be an ancient tomb — only to find its decaying, robed occupant very much still in residence, rising from a treasure-laden throne surrounded by gold coins and jewels. The contrast between the intruders' shocked expressions and the grotesque, dripping corpse-figure looming over their opened chest makes for a scene that's hard to look away from. With stories like "Race Against Death" waiting inside, this 1976 Charlton horror anthology delivers exactly the creepy thrills the title promises.
