<p>Monster Island Three is the book anthology of the art zine edited by popular Montreal artist Billy Mavreas. It contains comics and essays about monsters and comics. These artists pit their personal demons against the universal monsters of popular culture (Frankenstein, Godzilla, The Wolfman, etc...). This book straddles the line between comic anthology and art book but also contains essays to give historical context to the art. Rick Trembles provides a tribute in comic form to movie director Ray Harryhausen. Mavreas contributes a feature on Inuit artist Alootook Ipellie. There is Joe Ollmann's comic on the history of his drawing implements and Andy Brown's essay on the significance of the publishing history of one of Jack Kirby's final comic series. Bernie Mireault provides a comic about a horrific poker game while Patrick R. Burger writes about German pulps from the 1930s which were set in Africa. Of course the book also includes many monster drawings including those by Fiona Smyth. Other contributors include: John Mavreas, Carlos Santos, Jesse Bochner, Tessa Fenger, Jennifer MacIntyre, Shawn Jefferies, Guy Boutin, Helene Brosseau, Leyla Majeri, Rupert Bottenberg, Howard Chackowicz, Sean McCarthy, and Shawn Cheng.

Conundrum

Inside Outside Overlap is a completely original graphic novel that springs out of the Ascent Magazine comic strip, 'Tales from the Vase'. In this evocative illustrated escapade, Boy Priest, a young ceremonial magician, is plagued with nightmarish visions that rise from deep within to unsettle him. With the aid of his magic Vase, he performs a ritual that brings him face to face with the psychic junk that's been pestering him. Charming and profound, Boy Priest, along with his all-seeing friend Lifeform, are known for delighting and surprising readers. Billy Mavreas renders the inward explorations of our oddball hero with a poetic sense of detail and an indie-art sensibility. Enjoy this tale from one of Montreal's most imaginative artists.
