The Fox and the Crow #97
In "It Just Ghost'a Show Ya!", a vintage grandfather clock becomes the unlikely home of Napoleon’s ghost, who claims to have lived in Paris with a collection of oversized socks knitted by Josephine. When Stanley and his monster hear the haunting, they uncover a surprisingly cozy secret from history—only to accidentally expose it to the ever-curious Professor Chatelain. Written by Arnold Drake and illustrated by Win Mortimer, with a delightfully quirky cover by Mort Drucker, this 1966 DC gem blends whimsy and mystery in a 12-cent classic.
