Spooky Spooktown


Spooky Spooktown is an American comic book series, published by Harvey Comics. The series ran from September 1961 to December 1976; in all, 66 issues were published.
Spooky Spooktown featured stories from Harvey Comics' stable of characters, featuring Spooky the [Tuff Little Ghost]. Other Harvey characters that appeared included Casper the Friendly Ghost, The [Ghostly Trio], and Wendy [the Good Little Witch].
The series started as a one-shot in 1961. It became a regular title in 1962, published quarterly. By the end of the 1960s, it was published bi-monthly, a frequency which prevailed for most of its remaining run.
Spooky Spooktown was published as a "Giant-Size" 68-page comic until issue #39, then a 52-page "Giant-Size" from issue #40 to #45. Issues #46-66 were standard-size 32-page issues. These 32-page issues were made up largely of reprints from Harvey Comics' vast catalog.
Spooky Spooktown was canceled after the December 1976 issue; the mid-1970s saw a large number of titles canceled by Harvey.
