"Tales From the Crypt" and "The Flash" (Monster, Muscle Growth, and Caveman Transformations)

Two more comics to enjoy. Our first selection is from issue 5 of Tales From the Crypt--not the original classic comic from the 1950s, but rather the 2008 revival of the series.

Moving on...our second item is from The Flash #243, but it's actually a back-up story starring Green Lantern, who runs into some nasty aliens with de-evolutionary powers. Soon he finds himself becoming the Green Caveman:
