The Phantom Stranger #36

DC's long-running supernatural series reaches its 36th issue with a cover by Jim Aparo that sets a wonderfully eerie jungle scene. A red-haired woman in a pith helmet gleefully scoops gold coins from an open treasure chest, seemingly oblivious to the massive coiling serpent rearing up behind her — while a skeleton lying at her feet hints at the grim fate of whoever found this trove before her. With the tagline "Follow me into weird worlds" and a story titled "Crimson Gold," this 1975 issue promises exactly the kind of supernatural suspense that made The Phantom Stranger one of DC's most atmospheric titles of the era.
