Ghosts #52

DC's long-running anthology of "True Tales of the Weird and Supernatural" reaches issue #52 with a cover by Luis Dominguez that earns every bit of the dare printed across the top — "We Challenge You to Read…" A massive, skeletal specter with outstretched clawed hands looms over three terrified people scrambling to escape through what appears to be a shelter or bunker doorway, the raw panic on their faces selling the dread perfectly. Inside, John Calnan brings the chills to stories including "Specter in the Shelter," "The Thunderhead Phantom," and "Secret of the Living Corpse" — three tales that make this a satisfying March 1977 package for fans of supernatural comics done with genuine craft.
