The Little Monsters #27

In "Goon Island," Mildew stumbles upon the portrait of a long-lost ancestor, setting off a strange chain of events. Once hung on the wall, the painting seems to stir something in him, pulling him out into the night—where he discovers another portrait, this one of the ancestor’s wife, and hangs it beside the first. Written by Don Glut and illustrated by Arnold Hicks, this eerie 1974 tale from The Little Monsters series blends quiet dread with a touch of the uncanny, all rendered in the distinctive style of Hicks, who also handled the cover.
