In this delightfully meta issue of Homer, the Happy Ghost #18 (1958), the titular ghost and his mischievous crew take a whimsical detour from their usual antics—inspired by reading their own comic, they set off on a surprise visit to the real-life creators, Stan Lee and Dan DeCarlo, in New York City. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with playful energy by Dan DeCarlo—whose distinct pencils and inks define the cover and interior—this issue blurs the line between fiction and creator, all in a lighthearted, self-aware nod to the comic book world.
