Crypt of Shadows #8
In "Look Homeward, Werewolf!", a father's playful lie about storks delivering babies takes a bizarre turn when his curious son takes the family's moose horn—claimed to be a magic whistle—and blows it into the night. Sheldon Moldoff’s expressive art brings the whimsical yet eerie tone to life, as the father watches in stunned disbelief as dozens of storks descend, each carrying a baby. Russ Heath’s striking cover captures the moment’s surreal tension, making this 1974 Marvel tale a standout in the Crypt of Shadows series.
