The MICHAEL RODEN Halloween Project was always my favorite part of that particular holiday. This book is one of the reasons why. Some copies were signed on the back cover in ball-point pen.

cover untitled collage-drawing (Halloween Comix)

Haunted house with a bunch of cool spooky ghosts.

pages 2-3 City of Surrealism

Wonderful two-page story drawn in 1980. This is a great example of the early MICHAEL RODEN philosophical-cosmic-psychedelic phase. “Then what you think is going to happen to you after death, may be what actually happens.” This is cool stuff! Reprinted from PANDORA 8 (pages 34-35).

pages 4-5 untitled drawing

Cool two-page centerspread drawing depicting a haunted graveyard complete with grimacing tombstones!

page 6 Witch brewing Up a storm.

Amazing occult-oriented collage-drawing featuring a ghostly potato (really!). One of my favorite MICHAEL RODEN pages.

page 7 untitled collage-drawing

Cool Autumn scene featuring a skull in a field on a moonlit night.

page 8 untitled collage-drawing

Simple but effective illustration of a (presumably) haunted house with a full moon overhead.
