The more unpleasant the image to look at, the more disgusted the reader, the more "horrifying" your comic is.
I have a future horror comic project I'd like to tackle some day, and one of the poster children for it is pic related. Nasty colours, nasty proportions, nasty features - horrifying.
In non-horror media, though, I wouldn't know.
