Ghost Manor #17
In "The Truth in the Fire," Arthur Hoyt's ruthless ambition leads him to a remote island where he seeks to exploit its people—only to awaken something far older and more dangerous than he imagined. Written by Joe Gill and brought to life by Charles Nicholas with inks by Vince Alascia, this 1974 Charlton classic blends colonial tension with supernatural dread. The cover by Tom Sutton captures the moment of reckoning, perfectly framing the island’s secrets in shadow and flame.
