Spooky #81

Harvey Comics brings plenty of ghostly charm to this bright yellow August 1964 issue, where Spooky — "the tuff little ghost" — is caught mid-swing on the cover, a baseball bat in hand and a catcher's mitt snapping the ball nearby while his derby hat goes flying off his head. A smaller ghost companion scrambles in the background near a wrapped present, adding a second layer of mischief to the already lively scene. With the story "School for Spooks" inside, this 12-cent issue promises the kind of lighthearted supernatural fun that made Harvey Comics a staple of mid-1960s kids' reading.
