This year's issue of HALLOWEEN features a strangely beautiful wordless sequence of eight full-page illustrations incorporating collage elements and the coolest cosmic-horror creature ever! This book contains some of the very best MICHAEL RODEN cosmic-horror art published anywhere. Some copies are signed on the back cover in ball-point pen.
But, enough of my blathering on and on about it; here is what MR himself has to say about this wonderful mini-comix:

HALLOWEEN #3 Mini-Comix is one of my favorite comix. In it a Huge Monster Sky comes to life and Devours an entire Haunted Estate and everybody in it. I drew the Haunted House on the cover from a strange perspective. Page 2 shows how the Ectoplasmic Monster Sky has come up through the floor of the house forming monsters in its Cosmic Bubbles. They are attacking a man. On Page 3 the Cosmic Bubbles come from Within a Man! Page 4 is a Roof Scene. A man has climbed up there to try and escape the Monster. Only to find that he is up there with the Monster Sky. On Page 5 we find one of the Original Crazy Men! Known to me as the Guy in the Bathroom with a Knife and A Chicken on a Fork. This is one of my all time favorite scenes. Page 6 shows a Woman running from the Cosmic Bubbles Monster that is breaking through the Wall of the House! The scene on Page 7 shows the House Burning Down and the Monster filling the whole burning ruins. In the end, Page 8, a single confused man is seen roaming the land alone.
