Disclose Notes: The cover illustration is at odds with the vengeful and manipulative characterization of The Old Grandfather Clock in the lead story. The new cover drawn for the reprint in The Friendly Ghost, Casper (Harvey, 1958 Series) #182 (November 1975) https://www.comics.org/issue/202340/#1147984 better illustrates what lies within.
