In "The Monster," novelist Len Carson attempts to end his beloved sword and sorcery series by killing off its star, Starr the Slayer—only to find his fictional creation has stepped out of the pages and into the real world. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with striking interior art by Barry Smith, this eerie tale blurs the line between imagination and reality. The cover, a chilling collaboration by Marie Severin and Bill Everett, captures the moment the story’s dread begins.
