The Many Ghosts of Dr. Graves

    (Charlton, 1967-1982, 1985-1986)
™ and ©1975 Charlton Publications, Inc.

The Many Ghosts of Doctor Graves was a long-lived and relatively successful horror and mystery title from Charlton. Featuring the tried-and-true format of the horror “host”—in this case, the dapper Doctor Graves—introducing short tales of terror and suspense, The Many Ghosts of Doctor Graves presented eight-page chillers of monsters, vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures.

Charlton was not a prestige market for comics creators and often presented opportunities for young talent to gain professional experience. Among those whose early work appeared in the pages of Graves were Jim Aparo, Don Newton, Joe Staton, and John Byrne—plus the exceptionally talented Steve Ditko, an accomplished master of comic art who apparently preferred the editorial freedom of Charlton over other publishers.
