In "A Rare Scare," Casper ventures into the underground realm of the Gravitonians, a race of small, green-skinned beings who command gravity, after narrowly escaping a giant fly swatter monster and a series of subterranean traps. With help from Beelo, a Gravitonian youth, Casper uncovers a secret pact that could bring peace between the two worlds—leading to a surprising visit to the now-empty amusement park, where the people have fled at the sight of him. Warren Kremer’s expressive art brings the whimsical yet tense journey to life, both in the story and on the cover, which he also penciled and inked.

With help from Beelo’s father, the King, and a reluctant Prime Minister, Casper works out a deal to let Beelo experience the surface world—on one condition: restore gravity to the realm. The story unfolds as the unlikely duo, along with the King, make their way to an abandoned amusement park, where the returning citizens and amusement park patrons are still wary of Casper’s presence.

Spooky the Tuff Little Ghost is ready to hit the sheets—until a clumsy would-be knight storms through the Enchanted Forest, determined to slay a dragon and earn his knighthood. With a tiny dragon, a snoozing mouse, a skeptical gnome, and a coyote who’s just trying to nap, the night takes a wild turn as Spooky tries to reclaim his peace, one ghostly yawn at a time.
