Ghost Stories – Dell Comics’ Spine-Tingling Supernatural Anthology!

For readers who preferred their horror mysterious and eerie rather than gruesome, Ghost Stories was Dell Comics’ answer to the supernatural anthology boom of the 1960s and early ’70s. Launched in 1962, this chilling yet often overlooked series delivered self-contained tales of ghosts, hauntings, and supernatural encounters, often presented with an eerie, Twilight Zone-style twist.

Unlike the bloodier horror comics of its era, Ghost Stories leaned into classic ghost lore, urban legends, and psychological horror, making it a moody, atmospheric alternative to the more violent fare found in other publishers’ books. With its distinctive painted covers and eerie, suspenseful storytelling, Ghost Stories remains a cult favorite for fans of classic supernatural horror comics. If you enjoy ghostly mysteries that chill the spine without spilling the guts, then this is the anthology for you!
