LAAB Magazine is an annual broadsheet art newspaper created and curated by Ronald Wimberly (Prince of Cats, Black History In Its Own Words) and fueled by counterculture, social criticism, and comics. LAAB #4: This Was Your Life! takes on death itself, the end of days, and the meaning of horror in the Anthropocene, featuring the work of such luminaries as Emily Carroll, Ben Passmore, Sloane Leong, Jonathan Djob Nkondo, Hellen Jo, and Richie Pope. Its predecessor, LAAB #0, a searing Eisner-nominated treatise on the Black body in science fiction, was referred to by The Comics Journal as “a manifesto in action, as ideologically charged and aesthetically incandescent as the arc of a Molotov cocktail caught in mid-flight.”

The Willows and Other Nightmares is the inaugural offering of Beehive Books’ Illuminated Editions line, a deluxe series of slipcase editions in which classic stories of the past are brought back to life by the greatest illustrators of today. This lavishly illustrated 9”x12” volume presents The Willows, Algernon Blackwood’s long-forgotten 1907 horror classic, stunningly illustrated by Paul Pope (Batman: Year 100, Battling Boy). Considered by H.P. Lovecraft to be the finest supernatural story ever written in English, Blackwood’s tale follows two friends on an increasingly hallucinatory and hellish voyage down the Danube river in which the very trees seem to be eagerly watching, and waiting. The Willows and Other Nightmares also collects a number of Blackwood’s other short fictions, with an introduction by master of horror Ramsey Campbell.
