In the dusty town of Tombstone, Arizona, where the graves of the West's most notorious outlaws lie silent, something stirs in the night—only one of them wasn’t meant to stay dead. Written by Leo Dorfman and brought to life by Tony DeZuniga’s striking art, Ghosts #1 (1971) kicks off with a chilling promise: “We Challenge You to Read On!” The cover, a haunting portrait by Nick Cardy, sets the tone for a tale where the past refuses to stay buried.
