Monster comic books issue 2

Written by Konstantine Paradias, Michael Gordon and Glenn Moane. Art by EV Cantada, Dan Parsons and Demi Mandir. Cover by Mike Wolfer. It's all-new, mature readers, black and white horror, the way that you've demanded it, as we present three modern takes on classic creatures in the second smash issue of American Mythology Monsters! As their origin stories continue, so does the bloodshed! "Parts: Part 2 of 3" by Konstantine Paradias and EV Cantada presents the tale of a Frankenstein monster-like creation, who finds that they are in control of just what hideous and death-dealing appendages can be attached to their body, for maximum damage and maximum chills! In "Safiya: Part 2 of 3" by Michael Gordon and Dan Parsons, an ancient Egyptian mummy is much more than a gauze-wrapped corpse, as the curse of the undead takes on a very physical form! And in "The Bite: Part 2 of 3" by Glenn Moane and Demi Mandir, a university professor begins to lose control -- and feast on flesh as a werewolf -- as the effects of 'The Bite' turn his life upside-down! It's serialized horror in the classic tradition, in three tales that will haunt your dreams, but only for mature readers! 32 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $9.99.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. Story and art by Emil Ferris. Set against the tumultuous political backdrop of late '60s Chicago, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Book Two is the eagerly awaited conclusion to one of the most acclaimed graphic novels of the past decade. Presented as the fictional graphic diary of 10-year-old Karen Reyes as she tries to solve the murder of her upstairs neighbor, Anka Silverberg, a holocaust survivor, while the interconnected stories of those around her unfold. In Book Two, dark mysteries past and present continue to abound in the tumultuous and violent Chicago summer of 1968. Young Karen attends the Yippie-organized Festival of Life in Grant Park and finds herself swept up in a police stomping. Privately, she continues to investigate Anka's recent death and discovers one last cassette tape that sheds light upon Anka's heroic activities in Nazi Germany. She wrestles with her own sexual identity, the death of her mother, and the secrets she suspects her brother Deez of hiding. Ferris's exhilarating cast of characters experience revelations and epiphanies that both resolve and deepen the mysteries visited upon them earlier. Visually, the story is told in Ferris's inimitable style that breathtakingly and seamlessly combines panel-to-panel storytelling and cartoon montages filled with B-movie horror and pulp monster mag iconography.
