Edited by tattoo artist Allan Graves, the third issue of Monsterama is dedicated to the strange spectacle of the sideshow, exploring the graphic world of vintage circus posters, freak show advertisements, carnival banners, and human curiosity imagery, alongside masterful monster mash-ups.

Historic printed ephemera is presented alongside contemporary artwork, revealing the enduring appeal of the bizarre and the theatrical.

Across 100 black-and-white pages, Graves has assembled a dense visual archive of performers, attractions, and promotional graphics that once defined traveling carnivals and midway culture. With expressive lettering, dramatic illustration, and eye-catching compositions, the publication offers graphic designers, illustrators, and students an abundant source of reference for display typography, poster design, and the visual traditions of popular entertainment.

Not for children. Contains adult themes and disturbing imagery.
