Yet another great MICHAEL RODEN collaborative project, this time with monster ace XNO (with additional collage elements). As described by MR, this cool little mini-comix “shows psychedelic fun house rooms, characters, and layouts” (THE COMIC BLOCK No. 5, page 14). This wonderful book may have evolved from the story Fun House that appeared in HALLOWEEN [No. 1]. Contributors:
