Ghostly Tales #144

Charlton's long-running horror anthology reaches issue #144 with a cover by Pat Boyette that sets an wonderfully unsettling tone — a terrified man tumbles backward through a crumbling stone wall while a sharp-clawed vampire swoops down from above, a leering figure lurks in the upper corner, and a bat flits through the moonlit night. Inside, Joe Gill and Steve Ditko bring their talents to "The Flying Dutchman," making this 1980 Charlton package a fine blend of eerie cover art and proven creative firepower.
