Ghostly Tales #111

Charlton's Ghostly Tales from the Haunted House #111 delivers September 1974 horror atmosphere in spades, with a Steve Ditko cover that plunges two desperate figures — a blond man in red trousers and a blue-suited companion — into a dark cavern alive with writhing green tentacles erupting from a glowing pit. The tagline "The Thing in the Hole" says it all, and Ditko's energetic linework makes those coiling tendrils feel genuinely threatening as the two men scramble to escape. Inside, Joe Gill's writing pairs with Ditko's art and inks once again, a reliable creative team for fans of Charlton's brand of eerie, imaginative storytelling.
