Homer, the Happy Ghost #5

Homer the Happy Ghost floats blissfully across a gap where a collapsed bridge once stood, his halo glowing and his smile completely unbothered — while two very rattled humans on the cliff's edge react with pure horror at the "Danger: Bridge Out" sign he's cheerfully ignoring. Dan DeCarlo's cover art captures the gentle absurdity that made this Atlas Comics series such a delight in 1955, with Homer's supernatural nonchalance playing perfectly against the very mortal panic of his onlookers. Promising "All Brand-New Laughs," this tenth-of-a-dollar issue delivers exactly the kind of lighthearted fun the title always had up its spectral sleeve.
