There's an incredible sense of menace throughout the whole story. And the guide isn't even evil, something that is almost cliche in these types of stories!

It is nice to see though that when the natives are done hacking away, boiling, and eating the human flesh that they actually bother to hang the skull up as decor instead of being wasteful.<BR/><BR/>Great personal story too... maybe we should start up a new blog devoted to weird cannibalistic babysitting tales!Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-11514286710329361702007-08-02T10:04:00.000-05:002007-08-02T10:04:00.000-05:00That was some seriously gorgeous artwork right the...That was some seriously gorgeous artwork right there,very cinematic,and with a mounting sense of dread,I felt my pulse quicken in anticipation as the page downloaded,and that's the first time a comic-book story has done that to me in years!,I kind of saw the ending coming,but who wouldn't with the splash panel?,I noticed on the page where Mark first mentions the hand-thing that Cabot(Sebastian's cousin?)has his hand stretched out in a weird way,so I thought Cabot was the father luring his son out on a ruse,if it was meant to be misleading,it was DAMN subtle,I also must mention that once when I was working as a babysitter I worked for this couple that had done relief work in New Guinea,and had eaten human flesh!(I am NOT making this up!)and said that nah,they were just a normal couple and had just done it for a ceremony a few times,I'll say this:once was enough for me!!,I never had any weird experiences but you can imagine how it must have felt,especially when it was late night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
