In Eugene Hughes's "Trick or Treat," a man in a werewolf costume and a woman dressed as a vampire attack each other in a frenzy of sex-tinged bloodlust. In one panel, as the vampire-cosplay gal slips into her outfit, her nude silhouette is visible behind a screen as the werewolf guy leers with protuberant bloodshot eyes. In another story there's a wacky panel in which, if your mind is dirty enough and you look at it just so, one giant rat appears to mount another giant rat from behind.
