Scary Tales #30

Charlton's Scary Tales #30 (January 1982) delivers a genuinely unsettling graveyard confrontation on its Steve Ditko cover: a glowing yellow apparition lunges with outstretched claws toward a man backing away among tombstones, all set against a blood-red moon and deep purple sky. Ditko's sharp linework gives the specter an eerie luminescence that makes the nighttime cemetery feel genuinely threatening. Inside, Pete Morisi handles the full art duties on "Turnabout!" — a promising combination for fans of Charlton's brand of short, punchy horror.
