Ghosts #12

DC's Ghosts #12 (February 1973) delivers another round of "True Tales of the Weird and Supernatural," and Nick Cardy's cover sets the mood perfectly — a towering, bandage-wrapped mummy looms from the shadows as a man in a blue suit and a woman in a dark dress scramble desperately to escape its clutches. The rotting, hollow-eyed figure dominates the composition with genuine menace, making it easy to understand why DC challenged readers to pick this one up. Inside, John Calnan brings to life stories including "The Macabre Mummy of Takhem-Ahtem," "Behind the Portals of the Unknown," "Chimes for a Corpse," and "Girl Who Scorned the Grave" — a solid lineup of supernatural chills for any horror anthology fan.
