Random Reads: "The Monsters" by Fleisher and Grandenitti
Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Just a quickie today--a sci-fi short by two unique and visionary talents, Michael (Spectre, Jonah Hex) Fleisher and Jerry (The Spirit/Prez) Grandenetti. Only a mag like DC's Time Warp could contain such talents! From Time Warp #1 (August 1979) here come..."The Monsters"!
There were a lot of stories like that back in the day; I recall one where all these weird people, covered with blisters from radiation poison, came out of underground caverns, and infected this explorer who was investigating in the desert and found their buried community -- he ended up looking just like them (it was a DC Comic). I also remember a story I read around the same time where someone hit a hith-hiker in the Middle East, and his ghost kept manifesting as they sped away (seems like they had no legs, but I was a kid - all I remember is the turban, a long white beard, and some crutches). It was also a DC comic.
