Ghostly Tales #153

Charlton's long-running horror anthology reaches issue #153 with a cover by Jim Aparo that drops you right into a tense jungle confrontation — a wide-eyed man clutching a smoking pistol stands over a fallen witch doctor in a vivid ceremonial mask, while the chilling cover copy asks the question that will keep you uneasy: "The witch doctor is dead! … But the snake … WHERE'S THE SNAKE??" Inside, Don Perlin handles every creative role on "Paradise Acres," making this a genuine solo showcase of his storytelling craft. For fans of 1982-era mystery and horror comics, this is a satisfying slice of Charlton atmosphere at its creepy best.
