Timmy the Timid Ghost #2

Timmy the Timid Ghost takes center stage on this cheerful 1959 Charlton cover, conjuring up a "Magic Show" as he floats wide-eyed between a fluffy rabbit and a curious donkey, with a top hat in hand and woodland creatures looking on. The bottom of the cover spotlights a lively roster of Blue Bird Comics characters — Masked Raider, Li'l Genius, Wild Bill Hickok, Freddy, and Black Fury — making this a fun sampler of Charlton's kid-friendly lineup. At just ten cents, it's a warm slice of late-'50s all-ages comics charm centered on everyone's favorite ghost who'd rather wave than frighten.
