• Front cover of ABC Monstrosity. The ABC letters are drawn to look like the illustration that will accompany them; the “A” looks like an apple, the “B” looks like a B-shaped banana, the “C” has a cow-hide pattern. The word “monstrosity” is spelled in letters with vibrant monster colours, little horns and teeth and tentacles. There is a whale sprouting green spikes, rainbow appendages and a purple unicorn head with an overlarge green eye. There are mysterious shapes poking in all around the frame.
