This anthology horror comic contains at least two stories: "Ghost Gloved" depicts a boxing match on July 2, 1905, where champion Red MacGowan defends his title against challenger Big John Oakley, but the supernatural intervenes when the ghost of a defeated rival fighter joins the bout. A second story involves police investigating a series of murders of men in their fifties on Wall Street, each bearing a card identifying them as victims of sea-demons, leading a detective to charter a cabin cruiser and set sail with his secretary Joan to uncover the truth, where they encounter a witch and supernatural forces at sea.

Contains 4 stories
A Coffin Waits...
8 pp

When a mysterious corpse turns up in wealthy playboy Peter Brooke's penthouse, Detective Rashama senses something far darker than a simple prank—a supernatural evil tied to a missing woman named Carol and a sinister plot at a local funeral home. As Rashama pursues visions and ancient wisdom to uncover the truth, he discovers that something far more dangerous than murder is at work, and only sacred knowledge and courage may stop it.

Ghost Gloves
6 pp

Kid Dixon's championship fight with Gordon takes a supernatural turn when the ghost of Red MacGowan—a fighter killed forty years earlier—materializes to help the young boxer defeat his opponent and expose a crooked manager's scheme. With an invisible but determined specter coaching him through rounds and sabotaging dirty tricks, Kid Dixon must navigate both the physical demands of the ring and the eerie assistance of a restless spirit bent on vengeance. It's a wild mix of boxing drama and the paranormal, where the real battle isn't just about winning the title—it's about settling scores from beyond the grave.

Skeletons Have Secrets!
7 pp

When mysterious deaths plague Surfside Manor—victims found as mere skeletons hours after being seen alive—investigator Johnny Jeremy and Inspector Mallory arrive to uncover what whispers dismiss as supernatural revenge. Their search leads them through séances and cryptic clues to Peter Colby's anchored schooner, where a far darker truth lurks beneath the surface than any sea demon legend could suggest. As the pieces fall into place, Johnny must confront the real terror behind the macabre murders before becoming the next victim.

The Witch's Curse!
7 pp

When Sir Charles Bane's ancestor is burned as a witch in 1453, she curses the entire family line—a curse that lies dormant for centuries until World War II bombs shatter the consecrated circle binding her spirit to the castle ruins. Now, in 1953, the vengeful wolf-girl has risen to claim her deadly vengeance on the last of the Banes, and Pamela and Edwin must find a way to stop a curse that feeds on blood and rage.
