Halloween HeartBreak HAUNTED LOVE "Richard"

We're Going Gothic This Week...

...with a never-reprinted tale from the longest-running gothic romance comic ever!

This story of deception and redemption from Charlton's Haunted Love #2 (1973), written by Nicola Cuti and illustrated by Joe Staton, show that true love can overcome even the greatest of obstacles...sometimes with a little spectral help!

Note: Haunted Love ran 11 issues, more than double any other gothic romance comic!

Countdown to Halloween 2020 HAUNTED LOVE "Until We Meet Again"

Though he did few romance stories in his over half a century in comics...

...Steve (Doctor Strange) Ditko had quite a bit of experience with mystical mood!

Is this man a corpse possessed by the spirit/soul of Gerald, or some sort of regeneration of Gerald's deceased form?

I don't think Sheila cares, and this never-reprinted Joe Gill-scripted, Steve Ditko-illustrated tale from Charlton's Haunted Love #5 (1973) never makes it clear...
BTW, the inking on this story looks more like Joe Staton than Ditko himself!
Is it?
We may never know...

Countdown to Halloween 2020 HAUNTED LOVE "Curse of the Byrnyres"

A romance story doesn't get more Gothic than this...

...thunderstorms, creepy old house, heroine in peril, spooky people, cryptic warnings, an ancient curse, and, oh yes, monsters!

Writer Nicola Cuti and illustrator Joe Staton certainly know their Gothic romance tropes...and use them to superb effect in this tale from Charlton's Haunted Love #5 (1973)!
You can see Staton's current work daily (and Sunday) on the Dick Tracy newspaper comic strip!
