In "The Wings of Mr. Milo!", a curious biologist ventures into the unsettling world of insect expert Weems, whose collection isn’t of bugs—but of the spirits of the recently deceased, each trapped in insect form. When Weems begins hunting a mysterious "spider" person, his own obsession may be his undoing. Art by Ed Smalle brings the eerie, dreamlike atmosphere to life, while Ruben Moreira’s cover captures the story’s unsettling mood.
