Spooky Spooktown #47

Harvey's lovable "tuff little ghost" takes center stage on this cheerful 1973 entry in the long-running series, with Spooky getting a thoroughly shocking surprise — literally — as bold lightning bolts crackle across his little ghost body after an encounter with a wall outlet, sending his top hat flying. Along the left side of the bright blue cover, mini TV-screen portraits parade the wider Harvey ghost family: Spooky, Poil, Casper, the Ghostly Trio, and Wendy, a fun reminder of just how lively Spooktown's neighborhood really is. At a cover price of just 20 cents, Spooky Spooktown #47 captures everything that made Harvey's humor titles so endearing — big cartoon energy and a ghost who just can't stay out of trouble.
