Notes The indicia reads just " Ghost ", with a lot of white space on both sides of the word. The cover and later issues read as "Ghosts". Steven Rowe's understanding is that it was at first to be titled "True Ghost Stories" - thus the white space in the indicia, but when it was changed to "Ghosts", when they updated the indicia they whited out "True" and "Stories", but they forgot to add the "s".
