“Ghosts and the Supernatural”

DC's long-running anthology of the weird and uncanny reaches issue #81 with a cover by Luis Dominguez that's hard to look away from: a dripping, skeletal phantom surges up from a wet-cement construction site, clutching at a terrified worker while his hard-hatted coworkers scramble in the background. The tagline "From Beneath the Streets It Came… 'The Unburied Phantom!'" sets the tone perfectly for this October 1979 collection of strange and supernatural tales, written by Carl Wessler with interior art by Tenny Henson. If you've ever wondered what lurks under the city streets, this issue cheerfully dares you to find out.

In 1955 Oklahoma, ranch hands Vince Rand and Jake Dahl kidnap ranch owner Tom Collier in order to force him and his brother, Ken Collier, to sell the Collier Brothers Circle-Bar-X Ranch to them. During a scuffle, Vince Rand shoots and kills Tom Collier and wounds fellow kidnapper Jake Dahl in the process. Jake dies but not before making a tape recording for Ken Collier, detailing the events surrounding the murder. Jake's ghost appears to watch his killer hanged.
