i luv halloween – vol. 1, 2 & 3 – keith griffen (author) & benjamin roman (illustrator)

Be amazed about the plan the terrible and terrifying bunch comes up with and have fun reading how it acts out.

the dark goodbye – vol.2 – frank marraffino (author) & drew rausch (illustrator)

This is the second volume of Max “Mutt” Mason’s adventures in the crazy world he lives in.

It looks like dark matter is taking over the visible matter the world exists of, creating the most horrible creatures and viruses making the genuine human race as prisoners – read as valuable enzymes – the creatures need to stay alive.
The question now is, can “Mutt” take on this dark matter or will he be swallowed as well?

Maxwell “Mutt” Mason, works as a private detective. His heart is in the right place but his taste for the bottle is too. So in the odd chance he gets a case he has to drag himself out of Gill’s cafe and into the office where his ‘lovely’ assistant Melissa awaits him.
