Spooky #55

Harvey Comics' "tuff little ghost" is up to his usual mischief in this cheerful 1961 entry, issue #55. The cover finds Spooky bursting right through an easel canvas — sending a startled canine artist stumbling backward, palette in hand — while the painting behind him depicts a spooky haunted house complete with swooping bats. At a dime a copy, this bright yellow cover captures everything endearing about Spooky: equal parts menace and charm, with just enough Halloween atmosphere to keep things delightfully eerie.
