The Friendly Ghost, Casper #205

Even the "World's Most Famous Ghost" can still catch some folks off guard — and on the bright green cover of this 1979 Harvey issue, Casper floats forward with a mischievous grin while two startled red cartoon creatures collide in a burst of stars and sparks, one exclaiming "YIPES A GHOST!" The playful energy here is pure Harvey charm, mixing slapstick comedy with Casper's signature good-natured spookiness. At 35 cents, issue #205 is a cheerful slice of late-1970s all-ages comics fun.
