One Panel #869: The Deadman of Earth-2

From The Gay Ghost: "Sugo, Yakita, and Shimaka" by Ted Udall and Howard Purcell, Sensation Comics #18 (June 1943)

In this story, the Gay Ghost can suddenly enter dead bodies and animate them, which he does to fight Japanese caricatures. He makes like a mummy, but also animates dinosaur bones later in the story. Neat trick, and one Boston Brand would borrow in the Silver Age (with warm bodies). I mean, if you're going to be a ghost, possession is nine tenths of the game.
