For today's little bit of nonsense, we present the cover of GHOSTS # 90 (DC Comics, Cover Date: July, 1980).
In that now-fondly-remembered period of the late 1970s - early 1980s, even PHANTOMS had to keep up with the times!
Our protagonist seems to have gotten himself into quite the... "Disco Stew"!
But, what really makes it noteworthy to this humble Blogger is the TAGLINE!
"In the DISCO -- no one can hear you scream!"
Loathe as I am to admit it, I had actually gone to a disco or three circa 1979, and indeed NO ONE could hear you scream... or talk... or sneeze, or make otherwise embarrassing bodily sounds, or whatever...
But you gotta love DC's use of such a gag on the cover of what is a normally "straight" horror comic!
...Okay, it's time to "Disco Duck" outta here!
...Or, "In the DISCO -- no one can hear you WAK!"

That art goes above and beyond! I love how one of the wisps of smoke into which the bottom of the Ghost Lady's dress dissolve, is seen to loop around one of the young man's leg, like a tentacle.
She's about to capture him alright! Great touch!
Those supernatural-oriented comics from DC and Gold Key ALWAYS had great art - covers and interiors. Some of them shared the same writers and artists... and, the closer I look, some of them even "shared" the same stories - tweaked "just enough" to be... um, unique! ...Kinda.
