This interesting book (even the size is a bit unusual) is made up of several single-page contributions by various artist friends, some collaborative pages with FRODO, and a wigged-out four-page murder mystery by MICHAEL RODEN. Some copies are signed on the back cover. Contributors are:

cover     FRODO & MICHAEL RODEN

Cool weird-fantasy drawing (from 1975) of a bizarre frog-creature.

page 2     MICHAEL RODEN

Untitled collage-drawing of Le Tomb with hand-lettered indicia at the bottom of the page.

page 3     BRAD W. FOSTER (The Elusive Isochronon)

page 4     MICHAEL RODEN and FRODO

Untitled drawing featuring a cool freaked-out-looking monster in a subterranean world.

page 6     E. H. DORN (untitled collage-drawing)

page 7     JIM RYAN (Shadow in the Maze)

This illustration also appeared on the covers of PORTALS OF MADNESS (Vol. 1 No. 1) and PORTALS OF MADNESS (Vol. 1 No. 2).

pages 9-12     THOMAS WILOCH (Obscure Persons/Imaginary Environments)

Four-page portfolio of weird-horror collages.

Pages 13-16     MICHAEL RODEN (A Mystery)

This absolutely top-notch four-page story features wonderfully imaginative art (in the collage-drawing medium) and one of the best MICHAEL RODEN scripts ever: “The Killer went free. And all that was left was Moldy Remains!” Most excellent.
