| Comic Story | Herbie and the Spirits! (12 pages) |
| Synopsis | Herbie is the new kid in school. He proves his bravery by going to a haunted house. Supernatural beings (a witch, a ghost, a creep, and Frankenstein) cause havoc, but prove to be no match for Herbie, his lollipops, or his magic. |
| Content | Genre: Humor; Superhero | Characters: Herbie Popnecker; Mrs. Popnecker; Pincus Popnecker; Frankenstein |
| Notes | Herbie looks and talks differently in this pre-Herbie series story. In this story, Herbie's pants are brown; in all other original stories, they were blue. The being called Frankenstein is really Frankenstein's Monster, but is called Frankenstein throughout the Herbie stories. |
