Timmy the Timid Ghost #30

Even the friendliest ghost in the neighborhood gets a little smitten now and then — this December 1961 Charlton issue shows Timmy, dressed in his jaunty scarf and cap, gazing with wide-eyed adoration at a curly-haired rag doll seated in a shop window, tiny hearts floating all around him. Pat Masulli's cover art captures Timmy's endearingly awkward charm with a warmth perfectly suited to the holiday season. As a bonus, the back of the cover promises a contest, gift premiums, and membership in the "Treasure Toy Club," making this a particularly lively package from the Charlton lineup.
