Harvey Comics Classics Volume 1: Casper the Friendly Ghost

Harvey Comics Classics Volume 1: Casper the Friendly Ghost by Dark Horse Comics. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781593077815.

Its amazing how many comics fans who grew up admiring Spider-Man, Batman and Nick Fury still retain warm places in our hearts for Casper the Friendly Ghost. Now Dark Horse is delighted to participate in the revival of Casper who remains among the most beloved of cartoon and comic book icons. Casper the Friendly Ghost made his first appearance as a star of Paramounts Famous Cartoons in 1947 and entered the comics in 1949. But after five issues, publisher St. Johns gave up the title. Thats when Harvey Comics stepped in, and where this book begins. Harvey breathed life into Casper, and from the very first issue, the cover designs, stories and artwork - drawn by the same animators who worked on the cartoons - were a cut above.
