“The Legacy”

Charlton's long-running horror anthology delivers another unsettling chapter with this April 1980 issue, cover by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio. The cover plunges readers underwater, where a scuba diver in full green gear recoils in terror as a ghastly, reaching specter emerges from the murky depths, its hollow eyes fixed and its hand outstretched — accompanied by the chilling words "I've been waiting for you, Ed Maroon! Come!!" Inside, D.J. Arneson and Jim Aparo team up on "The Legacy," promising the kind of eerie, atmospheric storytelling that made Ghostly Tales from the Haunted House a staple of 1980 horror comics.
