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 5 E. H. DORN (untitled collage-drawing)
page 6 E. H. DORN (untitled collage-drawing)
page 7 JIM RYAN (Shadow in the Maze)
page 8 E. H. DORN (untitled collage-drawing)
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.
