Back when I was 9 years old, I picked up WEIRD MYSTERY 1, 2 and 3, all with lead stories by Kirby (from the cancelled would-be SPIRIT WORLD issue 2, so the stories later appeared in color in WEIRD MYSTERY and DARK MANSION 6.)
But each has a second story by an artist named Howard Purcell. One is a story about twins who share feeling and injury when the other is hurt. Another is a story about a boy who survived the Titanic sinking, and has a lifelong fear of the ocean. Good stories that I always thought were by a new artist of the early 1970's, until I made the connection to the Golden Age swashbuckling swordfighting character "The Gay Ghost" who appeared in a long series, beginning in SENSATION COMICS 1, back in 1941.
