This anthology horror comic contains at least two stories: "Ghost Gloved" depicts a boxing match on July 2, 1905, where champion Red MacGowan defends his title against challenger Big John Oakley, but the supernatural intervenes when the ghost of a defeated rival fighter joins the bout. A second story involves police investigating a series of murders of men in their fifties on Wall Street, each bearing a card identifying them as victims of sea-demons, leading a detective to charter a cabin cruiser and set sail with his secretary Joan to uncover the truth, where they encounter a witch and supernatural forces at sea.

Contains 4 stories
A Coffin Waits...
8 pp

A wealthy man returning to his penthouse after a late night finds himself unsettled by the sudden appearance of a woman he doesn’t recognize—her embalmed body discovered at a funeral parlor. As a detective and a spiritual investigator begin to piece together the mystery, they uncover a chilling connection between the dead woman, a forgotten ritual, and a man who may not be who he seems.

Ghost Gloves
6 pp

Kid Dixon trains for a fight while haunted by the ghost of Red MacGowan, the boxer who died forty years prior. The spirit warns him that his opponent, Gordon, is a crook and that Big John Oakley, the man who stole MacGowan’s title, is next in line—though Kid struggles to believe the ghost is real, especially when strange things happen around him.

Skeletons Have Secrets!
7 pp

When a series of mysterious deaths leaves victims reduced to skeletons near Surfside Manor, Inspector Thomas Mallory and his assistant Johnny Jeremy investigate, uncovering a web of secrets tied to the reclusive Tabitha Colby and a bizarre legend of a sea witch. As they delve into the eerie estate, strange occurrences and cryptic clues point to a hidden truth far more grounded than supernatural terror.

The Witch's Curse!
7 pp

Pamela Bane and her cousin Edwin are haunted by the vengeful spirit of a witch condemned centuries ago, a curse tied to their family’s dark past. As eerie events escalate—first a mysterious death, then ghostly apparitions and a terrifying confrontation—Pamela and Edwin must face the supernatural threat that refuses to stay buried.
