The Ultimate Casper The Friendly Ghost

A collection of fantasy stories featuring the Friendly Ghost and his companions--Wendy, the Good Little Witch; Spooky, the Tuff Little Ghost; and the Ghostly Trio--come together in an omnibus edition just in time for Halloween. All ages.

Casper's adventures range widely in scope, from finding a friend to trying to learn how to be scary-something he was never quite good at. Casper's fun-filled, g-rated stories have been the source of many happy hours of comics reading for millions of kids and adults over the decades. There are now three generations of Casper fans.

It's 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 Paramount's Famous Cartoons in 1947 and entered the comics in 1949. But after five issues, publisher St. John's gave up the title. That's when Harvey Comics stepped in, and where this book begins.

"Casper! Wendy, the good little witch! Hot Stuff! Spooky, the tuff little ghost! The Ghostly Trio! You'll find the whole, loveable, classic Harvey Comics gang right here in ALL-NEW adventures by today's most talented comics writers and artists! The tales are guaranteed to tickle your funny bone, and will be loved by readers of all ages!"--Page 4 of cover
