Haunted #52

Charlton's Baron Weirwulf's Haunted Library #52 (December 1980) delivers its supernatural tension right on the cover, where a bickering couple in a car — a nagging red-haired woman in green and a grimly seething man named Henry — are unaware that a ghostly figure lurks between them in the back seat, silently witnessing every barbed exchange. The comic-strip panel layout makes the mounting dread feel almost theatrical, with speech bubbles escalating from "Watch that car!" to Henry's ominous final thought: "One of these days she'll drive me too far!" Steve Ditko's cover art brings his trademark expressive intensity to this slow-burn domestic horror setup, while inside, Pat Boyette handles writing, art, inking, and lettering for what promises to be a chilling read.
