Not sure I ever saw a female character at Harvey Comics (at least since the Black Cat) deal out as much "incorporeal punishment" as Poil does in this story from SPOOKY 127.
Fiction House specialized in wild adventure stories, usually with lots of good girl art. But they weren't good at horror stories to judge from the eleven issues of GHOST COMICS. I could only stand to do a quick scan, but this cool cover by Maurice Whitman was the only thing I liked.
