Ghostly Tales #118 cover

Steve Ditko drew many horror/mystery stories for Charlton and this cover is a nice example from 1975. This is a bit atypical as it features a female protagonist as well as a church in the background -- neither of which are frequently seen in his work.

This image was re-used for the cover of Ghostly Tales #147 in 1981. In December 2025, this was used again as the cover art for a reprint collection published by Ditko's longtime publisher Robin Snyder along with Rodney Schroeter. You can find it on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

I've owned this since 2001.
