Arcade the Comics Revue #7
"Possessed" in Arcade the Comics Revue #7 (1976) delivers a stark, unsettling tale of release and unease, following Miles Microft as he steps out of the sanitarium with a fragile promise to avoid stress. Written by Fowlton Means and illustrated, inked, and lettered by Kim Deitch, the story takes a sudden turn when Miles and his companion Blanche are ambushed on the road by Don Corchese, who holds him at knifepoint. As Don’s grip on reality slips into senility, he leaves behind a cryptic clue hinting at a hidden fortune—leaving Miles, and readers, with more questions than answers. The cover by M. K. Brown captures the story’s eerie tone with a striking, unsettling image.
