The Friendly Ghost, Casper #152

Casper the Friendly Ghost meets his match on this bright yellow cover by Warren Kremer, where the little ghost comes face-to-face with a startled jack-in-the-box clown springing out of an open toy chest, colorful streamers arcing dramatically between them. It's a wonderfully playful scene that captures exactly why Harvey Comics' 1971 lineup had such cheerful, all-ages appeal. With interior art by Ernie Colón and a story titled "Casper's Mean and Scary Face," this issue promises the kind of gentle, good-humored fun that made the Friendly Ghost a household name.
