Ghostly Tales #86

Charlton's Ghostly Tales from the Haunted House #86 delivers a genuinely unsettling cover by Steve Ditko, showing a cloaked, sinister figure looming over a crouching man who recoils from a glowing, ethereal apparition rising before them — all punctuated by the urgent tagline "Someone Else Is Here!" The cover teases James and Cristja Breen stirring "the unknown," promising the kind of creeping dread that made Charlton's horror anthology line a steady favorite in 1971. Inside, Pete Morisi handles writing, art, inking, and lettering, with Joe Gill also contributing to the all-new stories promised right on the cover.
