Creepy Worlds #139
In "The Mouse Tower," Samson disguises himself as the talking parrot Marvelo for a stage act with Jim Hall, but tensions rise when Tiny resents Hall’s share of the earnings and sets him up. When the hotel’s cleaning lady, who’s long disliked Marvelo, throws the cage from a window, Samson barely escapes with his life—setting off a chain of strange events in the eerie confines of the hotel. Art by Bill Everett brings the unsettling atmosphere to life, while Rocke Mastroserio’s cover captures the moment’s chilling tension.
