Beasts! the book published by Fantagraphics and which I am included, in mentioned in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly (#927, March 30).

It is in The Must List: Ten things we love this week.

"9. Beasts!
Ninety different artists illustrate every conceivable mythical creature--from the unicorn to the lesser-known Baba Yaga--in this gorgeous book."

My contribution was the Gaki, or Japanese hungry ghost.

The book is pretty much a work of love spear headed and edited by Jacob Covey, who also redesigned the Fantagraphics UY volumes.

I'll definitly let my comic shop know, so that they can look out for it and get me a copy of it...

He he, even the witch Baba Yaga makes an appearance there...

It will be pretty cool to see the different "monsters" and mythical beasts and to compare different approaches of different artists.

Looking forward to seeing it... :)
