Homer, the Happy Ghost #4
Homer, the Happy Ghost #4 (1970) delivers a delightfully silly moment of misunderstood urgency, as the ghostly kid tries to share something important with his dad—only to reveal the punchline after a comically long delay. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with playful charm by Dan DeCarlo, both in pencils and inks, the issue captures a quiet, humorous beat that’s as sweet as it is absurd. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly mirrors the story’s lighthearted tone, a 15-cent gem from Marvel’s early ’70s lineup.
