Locke & Key: Small World

[cyberghostface]

This story is a one-shot. All you really need to know is that the series follows different generations of the Locke family of Keyhouse. Keyhouse is home to different 'keys' which can unlock unnatural forces; depending on the key you can turn into an animal, change your gender or even leave your body as a ghost. This issue follows the Lockes in the early 19th century.





Jean, the youngest daughter, forgets to take the key out after finishing. A spider crawls inside the dollhouse with predictable results. The now-giant spider begins to web up various members of the family.









With the spider dead and everyone safe, Jean curls up and falls asleep with the cat.

Yeah, that was pretty dumb, but it was believably dumb. It was the kind of bad rule that someone might make if he didn't think it through very thoroughly after the experience he had with adults misusing the keys.
