    John Broome story. Sy Barry art. Carmine Infantino cover and art. 1st appearance of the Phantom Stranger (though without an origin or any "introduction" to speak of). In "The Haunters From Beyond," the Phantom Stranger appears to confront ghosts from the Salem Witch trials! In "When Dead Men Walk," a plane crash inspires one man murder a woman who knows of his thievery--until the Phantom Stranger interfers with his devious plans. And in "The House of Stranger Secrets," a magician's stage tricks are no match for the Stranger! The back-up mystery story is "Goblin in the Bottle" with art by Murphy Anderson. Cover price $0.10.
