Outside-In by Bruce Jones

Outside-In
by Bruce Jones
from The Twisted Tales of Bruce Jones
issue No. 1
Eclipse Comics, February 1986

I can't find out where this story originally appeared before being reprinted in The Twisted Tales of Bruce Jones, a four-issue series of reprints - often colorized - of stories previously printed in black-and-white in Warren magazines.

UPDATE: reader 'hsc' notes:

This Bruce Jones piece was supposed to have been printed in the 4th issue of WEB OF HORROR, but the magazine folded unexpectedly and was never published.

Frank Brunner managed to get a portion of the original art out of the office, and the work wound up in fanzines:

"Outside-In" wound up in Robert Gerstenhaber's REALITY #2, published in 1971:

'Outside-In' calls to mind the EC Comics of the 50s, with its twist on the theme of the Hollow Earth..............
