Ghostly Tales #140

Charlton's Ghostly Tales #140 delivers a wonderfully macabre welcome from December 1979, as a robed, ghastly figure beckons a captain to "take a seat beside your comrades" — surrounded by a shambling crowd of hollow-eyed corpses and decaying ghouls pressing in from every direction. Tom Sutton's cover art is genuinely unsettling, packing the scene with a mob of rotting figures rendered in sickly greens, oranges, and purples that feel right at home in late-'70s horror comics. Inside, Pete Morisi handles writing, art, and lettering on "The Not So Great Escape!" — a tight creative collaboration that promises a chilling Charlton experience.
