I haven't read the full storyline, but I own a couple of the issues and I agree with you--even knowing what's going on, it's still creepy and wonderful. It's the kind of activity that makes Tim the freak we know and love today.

The whole thing's been collected in trade form, right? I'm going to have to buy it. I love the bits I have, and even though I know what happens in the others, I want to own it!
