Is "The Heap" a Shambling Mound?

From the 1953 story "The Heap" which appeared in the comic book Black Magic #18,
produced by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.

Let's see... half-vegetable, and half man... with a carrot-like nose?

Can anyone say, "shambling mound"?

    Man-Thing was the prototype for the shambling mound... likely lifted from the heap.

    The Heap looks awfully hairy.
