Spooky #109

Harvey Comics' "tuff little ghost" takes center stage in this 1969 entry, Spooky #109, where our bowler-hat-wearing phantom finds himself caught in a dramatic crash of water — a massive blue wave curling right over him while smaller geysers erupt at his feet, his expression caught somewhere between startled and grumpy. The pink-hued cover has real charm and energy, perfectly capturing the lighthearted mischief that made Spooky a Harvey staple. At just 12 cents, this is a cheerful slice of all-ages fun from a simpler era of comics storytelling.
