Man, I can remember getting nightmares from some story -- I think it was from a Gold Key horror anthology -- in which some monster was living inside a child's sandbox. You only saw the hands -- white, scaley, as I recall -- as it grabbed the kid's dog and dragged it into the box, never to be seen again. I believe the story ended with just the kid's shoes next to the sandbox. Gave me nightmares for weeks. Must've read that when I was in, oh, 4th grade. **** The only comic book ever to give me nightmares was the Classics Illustrated version of "The War of the Worlds". But I know of which you speak. I wonder if that story you remember might have been written by John Stanley. He wrote some very creepy stuff for Gold Key when I was a kid, including a story about a tentacle-like arm that snaked out of manholes at night and gooshed people into bloody spheres. There he was actually recycling elements he had used -- in a much tamer fashion, of course -- in his days writing and drawing LITTLE LULU.
