Edited by tattoo artist and Allan Graves, Monsterama #5 celebrates the once-ubiquitous street newsstand through the lens of horror and popular culture. Inspired by the cluttered kiosks that once overflowed with comics, monster magazines, tabloids, and pulp publications, this issue combines vintage horror graphics with new artwork by contemporary artists to recreate the excitement of discovering unexpected treasures on the rack.

Featuring 100 black-and-white pages, the publication evokes the nostalgia of childhood visits to the neighborhood newsstand while preserving the graphic energy of an increasingly vanished print culture. 

Equally compelling as a zine and a visual archive, Monsterama invites slow browsing, rewarding readers with unexpected details, forgotten graphics, and an evocative portrait of horror publishing at its most exuberant.

Not for children. Contains adult themes and disturbing imagery.
