Ghost Comics was a horror and mystery series released by Fiction House in 1951. Terror and suspense comics were starting to become really popular at the time, and this was no exception. The series featured several stories per issue, all independent, and they were thrilling tales, able to keep the readers faithful for over three years. Towards 1954, the readership started to decrease and it was finally canceled in June after releasing 11 issues.
