Spooky #49

Harvey Comics' "the tuff little ghost" is in fine form in this November 1960 issue, where Spooky is shown gleefully chasing a very startled ostrich across a bright green background — the bird's long neck recoiling and legs pumping in full, comic-book panic. It's a wonderfully silly piece of children's humor that captures exactly the playful mischief that made Spooky such a delight for young readers of 1960. At just a dime, issue #49 promises that kind of lighthearted fun, with "The Pin-cushion Kingdom" waiting inside.
