Halloween Countdown 2009 Day 9: Ghosts #102

The cover of Ghosts #102 (July 1981) from DC Comics promises a new Dr. 13, the Ghost-Breaker adventure. The first page is actually a one pager from The Files of Dr. Geist (pictured below) dealing with a haunted fun house in the Joyland Amusement Park. The first chilling tale is "One Last Kiss" about a lady killer's victims seeking justice from beyond the grave. A one page story from The Files of Dr. Geist comes next and is titled "Specter In Silver" (pictured below). The next chilling tale is "The Truth According To Nina" that deals with a woman's father seeking to protect her and get revenge on his murderer. Finally, Dr. 13, the Ghost-Breaker investigates "The Fine Art of Haunting" in Chicago's Stillman Museum.

Interesting ads inside Ghosts #102 include BubbleYum (I remember chewing this), Kung-Fu course, Hostess Twinkies Cakes presents Plastic Man in "Gold For Dessert" and 100 Toy Soldiers packed in footlocker for only $1.98. I actually ordered these toy soldiers and was disappointed that they were flat plastic that broke easily.

Note: Ghosts #95 and #102 are the only issues that I have of this horror anthology series from DC Comics.

the Joyland Amusement park looks like fun. The Fun House looks more like a haunted house though. The Jersey shore needs to revert back to offering dark rides and ominous looking attractions like this.
