HAUNTED LOVE "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!"

Even witches in Salem deserve to find love, whether here or in the afterlife!

Written by George Wildman and illustrated by Spider-Man and Dr Strange co-creator Steve Ditko,  this never-reprinted tale appeared in Charlton's Haunted Love #4 (1973), the longest-running gothic romance comic ever!
Next week...
Our Annual Halloween presentation of spooky,  sci-fi, and Gothic romance tales continues with a two-parter that takes 'Til Death Do Us Part to extremes!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
