This psychedelic, heavy metal monster mix-and-match art book from a trio of graphic masters is the perfect gift for the weirdo in your life. Once you flip through this mix-and-match menagerie of busts – depicting monsters, aliens, creatures, organisms and more ― you won’t be able to stop. By flipping through the wirebound pages, cut into thirds, readers can create hundreds of iterations of 90 mythical beasts depicted by legendary artists Matt Furie, Skinner, and Will Sweeney. This interactive board book is a perfect gift book for anyone who appreciates monster movies, psychedelia, lowbrow art, underground comix, and unique and fun books with high production values. Artists Furie, Skinner, and Sweeney have pooled their imaginations to create a visual feast that demands returning to time and again. Black-and-white illustrations throughout

Furie is also an accomplished illustrator; in addition to his comic book series Boy’s Club, he’s published a children’s book, The Night Riders. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter.
What would you get if you took LSD and decided to read H.P. Lovecraft for days without sleeping? Something very close to this! Really fantastically horrible images that will stay with you for quite awhile. This wordless book would be a great coffee table book for Halloween, can see a drinking game based on it!
