SR Bissette's Brooding Creature Black & White Edition

99 Monsters! 99 Terrors! 99 fear-flecked pages of Brooding Creatures—page after page of lovely, loving monsters!It's a brand-new madness-fueled menagerie from the drawing board of artist (Swamp Thing, S.R. Bissette's Tyrant®, Vermont Monster Guide, and more) and author (Cryptid Cinema, David Cronenberg's The Brood, Studio of Screams, etc.) Stephen R. Bissette, candid portraits of a few of his favorite things—things that go bump in the night, the dawn, the day, and the twilight. Here be Monsters—swamp creatures, ravenous werewolves, dire demons, pulsating parasites, verminous vampires, gorgeous gorgons, killer kaiju, deep-sea dwellers, and stratosphere soaring sirens—and more, much more than you can imagine.This black-and-white companion to Bissette's sketchbook Thoughtful Creatures is a banquet for beast connoisseurs, nightmare fuel for the nervous. Amphibious gillmen and saber-toothed cats dwell here, joining fear-flecked folkloric fiends (the Hog of the Forsaken) and inventive body-horrors galore (the eye-socket-dwelling Bloodless Gheebie) and far more familiar fears (various comicbook and TV characters you'll instantly recognize as old fiends of yours). Jungle queens & lords, demons & demon-hunters, foreign devils (Wampus and Varney) and never-before-seen-or-heard-of hellspawn (Gapra! Sporz! Entrailo! She-Yolk!) jump right out of the page and into your imagination... you'll never be the same again!99 pages in black-and-white and color, designed by graphic novelist/author Mark Masztal, foreword by multi-award-winning sf/fantasy artist Bob Eggleton, and Lovecraftian color cover art by Bissette and Eisner-Award winning graphic novelist/author John Jennings (their first collaboration, but not their last).
