He is one of the most pathetic, though frightening creatures, of the horror genre – he is the terrible HEAP. He was simply Jim Roberts, human, until his plane crashed and started a raging fire in an area contaminated with pesticides and nerve-gas. As he lay comatose in the muck and chemicals, a transformation took place, one which kept him alive..... or was that really alive? He emerged as THE HEAP! The Heap appeared in a dozen issue of Skywald's B&W horror books; it bears only an oblique resemblance to the Golden Age Hillman character, so if your expecting that noble creature... well, sit back and prepared to be shocked! NOTE: THE HEAP appeared in a short-lived color comic from Skywald, but those books are not public domain.
