About the series
A spooky mainstay of Charlton Comics' 1970s horror line, Scary Tales ran for 46 issues, offering a rotating cast of macabre hosts—from the vampiric Countess Von Bludd to the skeletal Mr. Bones—who introduced a mix of eerie short stories and supernatural vignettes. The series is notable for its frequent artistic contributions from Steve Ditko, whose distinctive, shadowy style lent a chilling energy to many of the tales, alongside regulars like Pete Morisi and Enrique Nieto. Written primarily by Joe Gill, Joe Molloy, and Mike Pellowski, it stands as a solid, workmanlike example of the anthology horror format that thrived on the newsstands in the pre-Code-free era.
