Spooky #44

Harvey Comics' "tuff little ghost" is up to his usual mischief in this 1960 installment, as Spooky — bowler hat and all — swoops down on a startled yellow stork clutching a bundle in its beak. The cover captures a perfect moment of ghostly glee, with Spooky's wide grin suggesting he's thoroughly enjoying the bird's flustered reaction. It's the kind of breezy, good-natured charm that made this ten-cent Harvey title a delight for young readers.
