Haunted #45

Charlton's Baron Weirwulf's Haunted Library reaches issue #45 with a cover by Jim Aparo that delivers an genuinely striking image: a muscular male surfer rides a cresting wave beneath a blood-red sky and full moon, while a ghostly female figure surfs a spectral blue-white wave alongside him — the contrast between the two figures creating an eerie, otherworldly tension. Inside, writer and artist Joe Staton brings his own sensibility to the tale "I Can Sing Forever," promising the kind of supernatural storytelling that kept Charlton's horror anthology line humming in 1979. At 40 cents, this is a solid October pick for fans of classic anthology horror comics.
