Review by M. Campos
You've already guessed that this is a tip of the Haven Hat to those great Kirby Marvel monster books, where some improbably big critter named Grodd or Gorrsst or whatever would roar out of a Siberian wasteland and scare everybody. Haven's story is simpler and very slight, but why you should get this book is the art – an intricate system of precise crosshatching and black that will keep you reviewing the pages for days, even after the short shock of the story wears off.
