Tuff Ghosts Starring Spooky #5

Spooky the little ghost glides into winter with cheerful charm on this 1963 Harvey Comics cover, ice-skating through a snow-flurried pink sky while cradling a glowing oil lantern and sporting a jaunty top hat and blue scarf. It's a wonderfully cozy image — the warm lamp light flickering inside the translucent little ghost creates a delightful contrast with the cold, snowy scene around him. Tuff Ghosts Starring Spooky #5 is a fine slice of Harvey's lighthearted, kid-friendly fun at a time when the publisher had a real knack for making the supernatural feel utterly endearing.
