In "Mister Gregory and the Ghost!", a greedy homebuilder learns the hard way when he constructs his dream house from wood harvested from haunted trees. As the spirit of the forest refuses to leave, his desperate attempts to banish the ghost only deepen his downfall—until he realizes the house itself may be the haunting. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1975 Alan Class issue features a chilling tale of pride, consequence, and a house that’s more than just wood and nails. The cover, penciled by Kirby and inked by Ayers, captures the eerie tension perfectly.
