Spooky Spooktown #48

Harvey Comics brings its "tuff little ghost" Spooky to a department store escalator in this cheerful 1973 issue, where a startled red-haired woman and a young boy riding the "DOWN" escalator have clearly had an unexpected encounter with the mischievous little specter waiting at the bottom. The bright yellow cover also spotlights the wider Harvey universe through side panels featuring Spooky, Poil, Casper, the Ghostly Trio, and Wendy — a nice reminder of just how lively that neighborhood in Spooktown really is.
