SERIES: Haunted
DATE: 1984
THOSE RESPONSIBLE: Various
CATEGORY: SILENCE
After buying several DVD-ROMs of classic Marvel series, I've tried to sell or even give away a bunch of now duplicative comics with no luck. I mention this only because Overstreet informs me that my one and only issue of Charlton's Haunted is worth some cash because it was a low print run final issue, but I don't believe them. There's not really a lot to say about issue # 75 of this ignominious horror series, but I'll do my best. First, that scene on the cover has absolutely nothing to do with anything that happens inside. Second, the comic is made up of several short stories reprinted from earlier comics, each in standard twist-in-the-tale format (a nightmare that may be real! a growth serum that backfires! murderers receiving comeuppance!). Last, there is no mention whatsoever that this was the final issue. Shed a tear now for those millions, or thousands, or maybe even tens of forelorn Charlton Haunted fans, desperately searching the stands late in 1984 looking for an issue # 76 that would . . . never . . . arrive.
