Amazing Ghost Stories v1 #16, 1955 - One of
Matt Baker's finest covers captures a moment of terror. A young couple's foray into a mine shaft awakens an angry ghost. The darkened environment reinforces the claustrophobia. A falling lantern illuminates the foreground. Note the carefully positioned stance of the figures, creating a dynamic V-shape that encloses the specter in the distance. Baker also exquisitely details the couple's clothing. Even the new larger masthead works surprisingly well this exceptional illustration. Included in this issue is a
Joe Kubert reprint from
Weird Thrillers #4. Other artists in this golden age horror comic include Sol Brodsky and Everett Raymond Kinstler. This is 3 of 3
Amazing Ghost Stories issues by
Baker.
