Timmy the Timid Ghost #22

Charlton's beloved little specter stars on a cover that's equal parts comedy and charm — Timmy finds himself pinned to a clothesline by a row of wooden pegs, flapping helplessly in a rainstorm while a cheerful smiling sun looks on from the corner, seemingly delighted by the whole soggy situation. The scene perfectly captures the gentle, good-natured humor that made this series a delight for young readers in 1960, with George Wildman's expressive linework bringing Timmy's wide-eyed distress to life against a backdrop of dark clouds, blowing rain, and a cozy cottage below. At just a dime, this issue — featuring the story "Maxie's Prank" — promises the kind of lighthearted fun that made Timmy one of Charlton's most endearing funny-animal-adjacent characters.
