Ghosts #71

DC's long-running anthology of "True Tales of the Weird and Supernatural" delivers three spooky stories in this December 1978 issue, with the cover by Luis Dominguez setting an immediately unsettling tone. A rugged, wide-eyed man clutches a pickaxe as a towering, snarling prehistoric creature looms over him from a cave, while two onlookers watch in horror in the background — teasing the featured tale, "The Specter from 1 Million B.C." That cover challenge — "We Dare You to Read" — feels well-earned when something that monstrous is staring back at you.
