Ghosts No. 46 Cover by Luis Dominguez
It’s not the most obvious Christmas comic, but the cover illustration by Luis Dominguez ties to a holiday-related tale inside.
Ghosts was a successful horror anthology by DC that was launched as the 1970s began. However it succumbed to cancellation in the early 80s after 112 issues.
New colour by me, and after the cover presentation, I’ve included the six-page story it refers to. Drawn by the great Lee Elias. Happy scrolling.
