Ghostly Tales #90

Charlton's Ghostly Tales from the Haunted House #90 (1971) delivers a spine-tingling cover by Steve Ditko, depicting a glowing, cane-wielding specter materializing before a startled couple — Bob and Carola Lewis — in what the cover text promises is a turn-of-the-century mansion they bought for much more than they bargained for in "The Dispossessed!" A looming, sinister face lurks at the left edge of the composition, adding an extra layer of dread to the already unsettling scene. Inside, Pat Boyette handles writing, art, inking, and lettering, making this a genuinely collaborative showcase for two distinct creative talents in one 20-cent package.
