Ghostly Tales #134

Charlton's long-running supernatural anthology reaches issue #134 with a cover by Steve Ditko that crackles with eerie energy — a menacing red devil-like figure brandishes a staff over a fallen victim, while a fiery, flame-shrouded specter looms against a brick wall surrounded by swirling, brightly colored orbs. It's a wonderfully unsettling composition that captures exactly the kind of off-kilter dread Ghostly Tales delivered so reliably in 1979, with Joe Gill and Larry Englehart bringing the interior story "Happiness House" to life inside.
