Ghost Stories #1 – FN – 1962 (Dell)

FN — Bagged and boarded.

The first issue of Dell's landmark horror anthology — and it opens with "The Monster of Dread End," the same story Tony Isabella called "one of the scariest horror stories in comic history." A painted cover, John Stanley scripts, and Gerald McCann interior art make this a legitimate silver age horror key. Original printings of these stories before their later reprints — this is the real thing.
