Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #76

Mystery Inc. faces a truly literary menace in this February 2017 issue, as the cover finds the whole gang — Velma, Daphne, Fred, Shaggy, and Scooby — recoiling in alarm from two spectral figures looming out of a shadowy library. One ghost, dressed in Elizabethan ruff and cape, threatens with a twisted Hamlet quote ("To be or not to be — you will be the latter!"), while a second dark-clad specter croaks "Nevermore!" in unmistakable Poe fashion. Cover pencils by Walter Carzon and inks by Horacio Ottolini give the scene a wonderfully expressive energy, perfectly matching the story's "Ghost Writers" title with a fun literary twist on the classic haunted-mystery setup.
