Spooky #122

Harvey Comics' "tuff little ghost" is in fine form on this cheerful 1971 cover, where Spooky tips his little bowler hat while sharing what looks like a hot dog and a cold drink with a ghostly pal against a bright green fence. It's the kind of easygoing, all-ages charm that made Harvey's lineup a staple of the spinner rack, and the story title "Battered by His Boo" hints at some playfully spooky mischief to come. At just 15 cents, issue #122 is a delightful snapshot of early-'70s Harvey fun.
