The Friendly Ghost, Casper #72

Here's a delightfully self-referential cover for Harvey Comics' long-running series — Casper floats outside a building window, peeking in to watch himself on a television set, while three children inside are equally captivated by his on-screen adventures. It's a charming snapshot of just how thoroughly the friendly ghost had worked his way into early-1960s pop culture, right down to the "Look for Me on TV" banner at the top. Issue #72 offers the kind of gentle, good-natured fun that made Casper a staple of 1964 kids' reading.
