Tom-Tom the Jungle Boy #8
This anthology issue contains two stories. In the first, Tom-Tom encounters a ghost with black spots while exploring a dark cave and must light a flare to escape; he later discovers the "ghost" was actually a harmless encounter and wins a treasure hunt prize—a book of ghost stories—which he receives from a woman named Betty. In the second story, "The Pixies," two pixies named Polly and Jimmy discover a box of colorful gumdrops and must deliver them to town, but encounter lazy Daisy Twins and various obstacles involving a giant mushroom before Polly successfully delivers a cake to a town celebration.
