Two of those firecracker guys are only seconds away from dying, I don’t know what they’re so happy about.
So I already posted this on the Twitterers with the caption “HARVEY COMICS BODY HORROR” because c’mon, this is just a little terrifying:
…even though once again one of Harvey’s ghost spirits reveals its intermittent intangibility. It looks like Spooky lacks Casper’s fine control over his phantasmal form.
Also interesting, I think, is this:
I don’t think I’d ever seen the Comics Code stamp covered up like that before. Sure, I’ve seen it altered, but obscured almost entirely while still nominally on the cover? That’s new on me. I mean, sure, it’s plainly obvious that this comic featuring the post-life torture of a ruffian haint is perfectly acceptable entertainment for all ages, Code or no Code, but I would hazard a guess that a letter would have made its way from the CCA offices to Harvey if this happened one too many times.
This often happened on The Devil Kids starring Hot Stuff comic. Harvey had such a strict template that the longer titles covered the code and nobody seemed to notice or care. This odd bit of subversion through bad design is my favorite thing about Harvey comics.
