In "Death Is My Mother," actor Dick Mayhew finds himself haunted—not by a spirit, but by the legacy of a legendary escape artist he’s portraying in a film. As the line between performance and reality blurs, the ghost of the man he’s playing seems to guide him through increasingly perilous stunts. Written by George Kashdan and illustrated by Leonard Starr, with a haunting cover by Nick Cardy, this 1972 DC thriller blends suspense and the supernatural in a story where the past refuses to stay buried.

In "The Magician Who Haunted Hollywood," actor Dick Mayhew finds himself haunted not just by the role he’s playing, but by the spirit of the very escape artist he’s portraying—his stunts growing eerily precise, as if guided from beyond the grave. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this haunting drama from Ghosts #3 (1972) blurs the line between performance and possession, leaving one to wonder: is the ghost helping… or watching?
