Abbott & Costello are having The Time of Their Lives, and so are Chris & Cindy at the House of Franklin-Stein! The Super Mates discuss the comedy duo’s 1946 film, where Costello plays a patriotic ghost, out to prove he’s no dirty traitor, while pranking the unwitting Abbott!

Then it’s back to the Comic Crypt for a ghostly encounter in Tales of the Teen Titans #71, Nov. 1986 (or New Teen Titans, Vol. 2 #12, Sept. 1985 if you prefer). The Titans encounter a mysterious little girl who seems to know everything about them. And she seems to be pointing them to a 50 year-old mystery that begs to be solved, and laid to rest.
