Chamber of Chills #12
In "The Ice Monster Cometh," a lonely orphan’s life shifts when a mysterious stranger leaves him a train set—only to discover it’s not just a toy, but a portal to a world where he can shrink and ride it. As his cruel uncle threatens to destroy it, the boy realizes the train is real, and with it, his only chance to survive. Art by Robert Q. Sale brings the eerie, dreamlike tension to life, while the cover by Larry Lieber and Frank Giacoia captures the chilling mystery of the moment.
