The Friendly Ghost, Casper #228

There's something wonderfully absurd about Casper — the world's most famous ghost — being startled by the sight of a ghost on television, and that's exactly the charming scene Harvey Comics delivers on this January 1987 cover. Casper watches wide-eyed as a TV screen shows a panicked man fleeing from a green-skinned monster, with the speech bubble "Yipes! A Ghost!" adding a perfectly ironic twist. With a Halloween treat featuring Spooky's Scary Night also promised on the cover, issue #228 is a delightful slice of Harvey's signature mix of gentle spookiness and playful humor.
