The Friendly Ghost, Casper #218

Even the world's most famous ghost can surprise the scariest creatures around — this October 1981 Harvey Comics issue puts Casper face-to-face with a massive, wide-eyed gorilla clutching the little ghost in one enormous hand, only to shriek "Yipe! A Ghost!" in pure terror. It's a wonderfully funny role reversal, set against a pink sky backdrop with a city skyline below, capturing exactly the gentle humor that made Casper such a beloved figure. Inside, "The Mystery of the Murky Depths" promises more of the charming, lighthearted adventures that kept readers coming back issue after issue.
