Spooky Spooktown #37
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Bygone Boo," the Spooky robot’s sudden personality shift throws Spooky Spooktown into chaos when a well-intentioned fix turns the once-terrifying machine into a helpfully misguided force—so kind, it even aids a hungry wolf in tracking down a rabbit. With the line between good and bad blurring dangerously, can Spooky find a way to restore balance before the robot’s misplaced kindness causes more harm than the original mischief? Written and illustrated by Howie Post, this 1970 Harvey classic delivers a clever twist on the spooky standard, all under a cover by Howie Post.
In "The Bygone Boo," Spooky Spooktown encounters a young ghost named Junior who’s never been able to boo—despite being a ghost, no less. When Spooky can’t help, he turns to Elmo, who brews a potion to uncover the forgotten moment from Junior’s past that changed everything.
Spooky Spooktown stumbles into the bizarre world of Bottleland after a misfired boo sends him tumbling through a hole in the ground. There, he learns an unexpected lesson about the consequences of his antics—leading to a surprising shift in his favorite way to practice his boos.
In "The Best Boo Contest," Spooky Spooktown finds himself in a spooky showdown at the Spookville Fair, where the prize for the most impressive boo is a turkey—though his victory might just be a little too loud to handle.
When Spooky decides to take a break from scaring and commissions Professor Hauntly to build a kind, helpful robot double, things take a spooky turn—literally. The Ghostly Trio’s meddling accidentally transforms the gentle substitute into a full-blown super-scarer, sending Spooky’s plans spiraling.
In "What Goes Around, Comes Around!" from Spooky Spooktown #37, Jo sets up a whimsical chain reaction of falling objects, each one nudging the next in a perfectly timed sequence—only to find the final, unexpected twist lands right on his head. A delightfully silly, self-contained gag from the classic humor-fantasy anthology, this one-page gem is pure, playful chaos.
When Poil accidentally knocks the Spooky robot into a state of overzealous kindness, the once-terrifying machine starts helping everyone—right down to feeding a hungry wolf the location of a rabbit he’s chasing. Now the robot’s good intentions are causing more chaos than the Ghostly Trio ever did. Can Spooky find a way to restore balance before the robot’s helpfulness spirals out of control?
