Timmy the Timid Ghost is a fictional comic book ghost, whose adventures were published by Charlton Comics.[1]

Publication history

Timmy the Timid Ghost first appeared as a minor character in an Atomic Mouse story, "3-D Crime Wave" by Al Fago, in Atomic Mouse #5 (November 1953).[2]

Possibly in response to the popularity of Casper the Friendly Ghost, Timmy later graduated to his own comic book, beginning in Timmy the Timid Ghost #3 (February 1956).[3] The numbering of this series continued from Charlton's Win a Prize #2, as indicated in the "Statement of Ownership" in issue #4.[4] This series ran until issue #45 (September 1966).

Timmy returned in a new series in 1967, which ran for 23 issues until 1971.[5][6]

In 1985, Timmy the Timid Ghost returned for a brief three-issue run,[7] continuing the numbering from the last series. Issues #24-26 were reprints of previously published stories. This final series was canceled when Charlton Publications closed its comic book division.
