Ghostly Tales #131

Charlton's long-running horror anthology reaches issue #131 with a cover by Steve Ditko that plunges you right into the chaos — a skull-faced, caped figure confronts a glowing, armed apparition amid a dramatic wreckage of shattered timber and scattered rubble, while a ghostly white form and a fleeing human figure add to the mayhem on the right. The composition crackles with Ditko's distinctive energy, cramming menace and supernatural tension into every splintered corner. With Wayne Howard handling all the interior creative duties on "The Night Dancer!," this 1978 Charlton package is a satisfying slice of eerie, self-contained horror.
