Ghosts #42

DC's long-running anthology of "True Tales of the Weird and Supernatural" delivers three unsettling stories in this September 1975 issue, and Luis Dominguez's cover sets the mood perfectly — a skeletal soldier in full military uniform looms in the foreground while a mounted horseman raises a torch over a ghostly crowd of skullfaced figures against a blood-red sky, with onion-domed buildings silhouetted in the distance. The cover teases three tales inside: "The Spectral Sentries," "Haunted Homecoming," and "The Phantom Frigate." With its bold challenge — "We Dare You to Read…" — Ghosts #42 is a fine example of DC's mid-1970s horror anthology line firing on all cylinders.
