The Friendly Ghost, Casper #233

Harvey Comics' long-running series reaches issue #233, and the cover is an absolute charmer — Casper floats cheerfully on the opposite side of a checkerboard game table from a red-hooded girl, the two of them mid-match while a cluster of enchanted broomsticks hovers beneath the table, magically keeping the whole game afloat high above a neighborhood below. It's a delightfully whimsical scene that captures everything endearing about the world's most famous friendly ghost, blending everyday fun with just a touch of the supernatural. A fine 1987 entry for fans young and old.
