Creepy Worlds #203

In "The Mouse Tower," Samson—posing as the flamboyant talking parrot Marvelo—finds himself caught between a grudging act with Jim Hall and a simmering resentment from Tiny, who blames Hall for keeping the profits. When the hotel’s cleaning lady, harboring a deep dislike for the bird, hurls Marvelo’s cage from a window, Samson’s performance takes a perilous turn. Bill Everett’s expressive art brings the tense, surreal atmosphere to life, while Rocke Mastroserio’s cover captures the moment’s chilling drama.
