About the series
In the late 1950s, Australian publisher Horwitz gave readers a cheerful, supernatural twist on domestic humor with Homer, the Happy Ghost (1956–1958). Running for 28 issues, the series was most frequently drawn by celebrated cartoonist Dan DeCarlo, whose clean, expressive style brought warmth to the titular spectral prankster's adventures. While lighthearted and episodic, the comic stands as a charming artifact of the era's fascination with friendly ghosts, showcasing DeCarlo's pre-Archie mastery of character-driven comedy.
