Ghostly Tales #80

Charlton's Ghostly Tales from the Haunted House #80 from 1970 delivers a wonderfully unsettling cover by Pat Boyette, where a startled man is sent flying out of a window by supernatural force — ghostly apparitions swirling around him — while the series' eerie blue-skinned host looks on from the corner with cool, sinister amusement. The cover teases a featured story called "The Real Gone Ghost," with the host cheerfully warning readers that when the ghost says "go," you'd better not linger. At just 15 cents, this Charlton horror anthology showcases Boyette's scratchy, atmospheric linework at its creepiest best.
