Haunted #1 - Steve Ditko art & cover + 1st issue

Steve Ditko
Haunted v1 #1, 1971Steve Ditko's unusual cover design incorporates the issue's contents within a ghostly, abstract face. All three stories are beautifully drawn in his trademark graphic style, but his first deserves special attention. In "The Room Of Madness", an antique Persian rug is bought and sold over the decades as its owners are driven mysteriously insane. The tale opens with full page splash of a room literally coming to life. Ditko uses cross-hatching and patterns for both variety and visual interest. Of the many Charlton horror comics, this issue stands out as one of the few all-Ditko issues. This is 1 of 23 Haunted issues by Ditko. /// key 1st issue
