The Friendly Ghost, Casper #143

Casper the Friendly Ghost is all smiles on this cheerful orange-tinted Harvey Comics cover from 1970, gleefully spinning what appear to be hula-hoop-like ribbons while a group of wide-eyed green frogs leap and tumble playfully around him. It's a warm, lighthearted snapshot of everything that made Casper such an endearing presence in kids' comics — pure fun, zero fright. At just 15 cents, issue #143 pairs that delightful cover energy with the interior story "At the Drive-in," making it a sweet slice of early-'70s all-ages comics charm.
