In honor of All Souls' Day, this week's contribution to Friday Night Fights features the ghost of Knute Rockne showing that he can kick some serious ass, on or off the gridiron...and even from beyond the grave.
It happened in Kid Eternity #15 (May 1949). Kid Eternity, seen sporting the spiffy red cumberbund in the bottom left of the above panel, has the power to summon the spirits of dead (by shouting "ETERNITY!") to fight his battles for him.
Sure it's mildly disturbing and more than a little exploitive, but I'm willing to cut some slack to any comic where the shade of American humorist Will Rogers gets to hogtie the unquiet spirit of Torquemada, the chief architect of the Spanish Inquisition:
The Music Explosion - Little Bit O'Soul (from Little Bit O'Soul, 1967) - Where garage rock and bubblegum collide!
(Hats off to the presiding division champion.)

Booty-Kick, FOR THE WIN!!!
Text book reply to a stealthy upending "AIEEEE" - I'm gonna have to start tracking down the definitive top ten "AIEEEE"'s
Great track too - that motown beat driving the song along would mix neatly into "Love Is Like An Itching My Heart" - The Supremes (I can feel an Ableton made mix coming on)
