Tracked down this one recently...Haunted 38, cover-date October 1978...Can recall buying it off of a spinner rack at a convenience store in my hometown of Warren OH...Cover art by Joe Staton taken from a panel of an interior story...First story is a new "mistaken identity" tale probably written by Joe Gill with surprisingly creepy art by Charlton mainstays Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia...The Staton story is next, written by Nic Cuti and reprinted from the first issue of Midnight Tales in 1972...Great twist ending...Wraps up with a "sell your soul" story, also likely by Gill, with cheesecake art from Spanish artist Jorge Galvez that had to flirt with the edge of the Comics Code, if the Code was even bothering to review Charlton titles in the late 70s...This was part of the great unwinding of Charlton's new content as these titles moved to all-reprint, but still proof you cld often find good material in Charlton comics...
