The Ultimate Casper Comics Collection

Al Harvey would be proud of this book.

Long-time Harvey Editor Ralph Newman has compiled an outstanding selection of Casper the Friendly Ghost tales from #11, #13, #17, #20, and #22. Reprinted in their entirety, even the Warren Kremer covers are included. Not only do readers find Wendy, the Good Little Witch, but also The Ghostly Trio, Nightmare, and Spooky.

Boy, do these stories bring back memories! Simple, predictable, yet entertaining and memorable. As is the case with many kid comics, the multi-parters are the best, and here readers find Kremer and Harvey (as characters) in “Real Gone,” Wendy and Casper in “The Flying Horse,” a Babes in Toyland swipe in “Kings of Toyland,” and others that will keep readers flipping the pages.

Printed on pulp paper, the colors just didn’t seem right. On glossy—wow! Casper, the way he was intended. Good production values are evident throughout the book. Ernie Colon’s cover is icing on the cake.

They sure don’t make them like this any more. Hey, Harvey, are you listening?
