The Friendly Ghost, Casper #21

From Harvey Comics in 1960, this cheerful issue of The Friendly Ghost, Casper captures everyone's favorite little ghost in full pirate-play mode — blindfolded with a jaunty yellow kerchief and floating smugly above a makeshift wooden boat where two kids brandish toy swords beneath a billowing sail. It's a wonderfully lighthearted cover scene that perfectly captures Casper's gentle mischief, and "The Good Deed" as the featured story promises the warm-hearted spirit this series always delivered so well. A delightful ten-cent slice of early-'60s Harvey charm.
