Spooky Spooktown #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Spooky Meets Wilbur Wishbone," Spooky finds his love interest Poil swamped with dates—especially with the elegant, beret-wearing ghost Highbrow Haunt. Determined to compete, Spooky abandons his usual scares for a crash course in culture, culminating in a library raid to absorb all the refinement he can. With Howie Post handling both pencils and inks, and Warren Kremer bringing the cover to life, this 1961 Harvey classic blends spooky charm with a surprisingly literary twist.
In "The Spooktator," Whitey, a ghost with a flair for theatrics, charms Spooky into teaching him the art of scaring—only to use those skills for a bank heist. When the crook Second Story Sam pulls off a robbery with a well-timed fright, Spooky proves that even a "tuff little ghost" can be a force for honesty.
In "Goils Will Be Girls," Spooky Spooktown finds his romantic hopes upended when he discovers Poil’s calendar is packed with dates—especially with the elegant, beret-wearing ghost Highbrow Haunt. Determined to compete, Spooky abandons his usual scares for a crash course in culture, diving into books at the public library. With a newfound sense of refinement, he sets out to win Poil’s favor—though his methods may be more theatrical than subtle.
In "Doze Were the Daze," Spooky stumbles into Sleepyville, a town where the air itself seems to weigh heavy on the spirit—literally. Despite his best ghostly efforts to spook the sleepy townsfolk, even his most dramatic moans go unnoticed, as the entire community drifts through life in a drowsy haze.
In "The Witches Wish," Wendy, fed up with the Witch Sisters' constant nagging and dramatic flair, packs her bags and walks out for good. Soon after, the sisters find themselves missing her sharp wit and unexpected kindness, leading them to realize they might have been too harsh—and that they actually miss her.
