Character(s): The Ghost
Publication: Thrilling Comics No. 51
Publication Date: December 1945
Publisher: Standard Magazines, Inc.
 The Ghost, another great hero from
the fabulous Nedor/Standard/Better line of books, was an powerful magic-based hero whose real
name was George Chance.
Raised in India, Chance was the
foster son of an immortal yogi teacher. The yogi's teachings endowed Chance with a great number of
mystical powers. He could levitate, travel at the speed of light, animate inanimate objects,
and, as his name would suggest, transform himself (and others) into invisible astral form.
The Ghost was assisted in his adventures
by a woman named Betty.
The Ghost
appeared in Thrilling Comics 3-40, 42-44 and 46-52; America's Best Comics no. 9; and
The Black Terror no. 7.
