Homer, the Happy Ghost #6

Here's a cheerful slice of 1956 Marvel humor: Homer the halo-wearing ghost looks on with wide-eyed anxiety as a grinning boy in a raccoon-tail cap leads two friends straight toward a spooky haunted house, completely ignoring the "Haunted House — Keep Out!" sign posted out front. Dan DeCarlo's cover art is warm and wonderfully expressive, perfectly capturing the comedy of a ghost who's more flustered than frightening. With Stan Lee scripting the "all brand-new laughs" inside, this ten-cent issue is a delightful artifact of mid-fifties all-ages comics fun.
