This Magazine Is Haunted #15

Charlton's long-running horror anthology reaches issue #15 with a cover by Maurice Whitman that practically leaps off the page: a terrified man recoils in sweaty panic as a decayed, skull-faced specter bursts through a crumbling wall behind him, skeletal hand already reaching in from the side. A leering ghoulish face presides over the chaos from an inset medallion, taunting that no one can cover up the footsteps of a ghost. For ten cents in 1958, this was a remarkably unsettling package of pre-Code-adjacent chills, with Joe Gill and Bill Molno delivering interior thrills to match.
