The Friendly Ghost, Casper #137

When Casper reunites with his old friend Pierre Goofeau—once an inspector, now a private eye—he’s pulled into a bizarre case involving movie star Rocky Swinger, who’s rapidly aging after a portrait session with a mysterious artist and a threatening demand for $100,000.

In "With Your Looks and My Brains," Rocky Swinger and Pierre Goofeau team up on a bizarre scheme involving a rocket and a mysterious witch, only to find their plans derailed when Rocky’s youth is unexpectedly restored. With the case still unsolved and Mr. North Wind caught in the chaos, Casper remains skeptical—though the real mystery may be just beginning.

When Rocky gets another threatening note and his nose turns purple, Casper investigates and discovers Step-Aunt Graspee pressuring an artist to paint Rocky’s portrait on magic canvasses. With the help of the artist and a clever idea, Casper sets out to turn the situation around—before the prank spirals further.

When Spooky’s house starts leaking during a storm, he sets out to find a drier place to stay—only to stumble into a scheme involving a haunted mansion and a ghost who’s more than a little too eager to be chased. Hugo Uptite, ever the eager amateur investigator, finds himself in the middle of a spooky situation he never saw coming.
