Nightmare & Casper

Series continues in Casper and Nightmare #6

Nightmare, the Galloping Ghost made her debut in Casper, the Friendly Ghost #19 from 1954 and eventually appeared alongside Casper in a few of the Casper theatrical cartoons and later animated TV series. By the 1960s, Nightmare was popular enough to warrant this giant-sized title featuring reprints from her earliest adventures. The title itself sported a role reversal as after five issues it was renamed Casper and Nightmare and lasted with that name until 1973 and the Casper implosion. Nightmare and Casper (or the reverse) also occasionally appeared in issues of Harvey Hits as far back as 1960.
