Haunted #74

Baron Weirwulf looms large — literally — as his shadowy silhouette frames a central image of two figures shaking hands while another pair stands torch-lit against a starry backdrop, all wrapped in the haunting question of whether a ghost saved the very man who murdered him because they were once "Partners." This July 1984 Charlton anthology delivers that signature blend of eerie irony and moral unease that made Haunted a reliable home for supernatural short fiction, with a Steve Ditko cover that uses bold graphic design to pull you straight into the mystery. With interior work from writer and artist Nicola Cuti and Jack Abel, issue #74 is a fine snapshot of Charlton's enduring commitment to the macabre.
