After Blue Bolt came these freaky and terrorific stories! See what copies that are floating around are selling for by using our online price guide!
Ghostly Weird Stories was the new name for Blue Bolt following issue #119. The superhero comic lost its power and the publisher knew it was time to present new content, so Ghostly Weird Stories was the result.
The comic, however, didn’t get that good a response from readers and they only managed to release five issues under this new name before it was canceled.
