Spooky #85
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Best Boo Contest," the Spooky robot's sudden personality shift after a well-intentioned whack leaves him overly kind—so kind that he starts helping villains like a hungry wolf track down its prey. With Poil scrambling to fix the malfunction, Spooky must navigate a bizarre new reality where even good deeds go terribly wrong. Penciled and inked by Howie Post, this 1965 Harvey classic features a delightfully twisted twist on spooky antics, with Warren Kremer’s cover capturing the absurdity in full.
In "The Best Boo Contest," Spooky finds himself the unlikely winner of a spooky showdown at the Spookville Fair—only to discover that being the ultimate boo-er might come with a few unexpected consequences.
When Spooky decides to take a break from scaring and commissions Professor Hauntly to build a kind, helpful robot doppelgänger, things take a spooky turn—literally. The Ghostly Trio’s meddling accidentally transforms the gentle substitute into a terrifying force, leaving Spooky to confront the chaos he never meant to unleash.
In "What Goes Around, Comes Around!" from Spooky #85, Jo takes a playful swing at some mischievous objects—each one toppling in a chain reaction that eventually loops back with a surprise twist. The humor is classic, the timing tight, and the payoff perfectly absurd.
When Poil accidentally reverses the personality of the Spooky robot, the once-terrifying machine becomes dangerously kind—so helpful, in fact, that it starts aiding villains in their schemes, like revealing a rabbit’s hiding spot to a hungry wolf. Now, with the robot’s misplaced goodwill causing chaos, Spooky must find a way to restore balance before good intentions spiral completely out of control.
