Beasts is a classic mythological menagerie comprised of creatures that were thought at one time to actually exist, depicted by about a hundred of the most acclaimed artists and cartoonists coming from the most avant-garde ambits of the art world.

The Beasts project has fired the imaginations of luminaries such as Craig Thompson, Souther Salazar, Jeff Soto, Glenn Barr, Dave Cooper, Tim Biskup, Seonna Hong, Jeremy Fish and Jay Ryan, who will present never-before-seen art completely original to this book, superbly laid out in breathtaking, full-color two-page spreads. Beasts collects many of the best visual artists from the world of comics, skateboarding, rock graphics, science-fiction, children's books, and commercial and fine art. The book is conceived and designed by Jacob Covey, lead art director for Fantagraphics, a well-regarded designer and artist in his own right in the Northwest rock and arts community.
