Ghosts #108

DC's long-running supernatural anthology reaches issue #108 with a Halloween-tinged cover by Joe Kubert that sets an eerie, atmospheric tone. A desperate gravedigger swings a pickaxe in a moonlit cemetery — a glowing jack-o'-lantern looming large behind him — while a spectral, striped-suited figure hovers menacingly overhead and an open coffin with its occupant lies exposed at his feet. It's a genuinely unsettling image, and with the "Trick or Treat" banner and the promise of all-new stories inside, this January 1982 issue delivers exactly the kind of chilling anthology fare DC's Ghosts built its reputation on.
