Dozens of top-shelf indie creators bring the missing link to life in this anthology...

Josh Howard loves Bigfoot. And, apparently, he isn't alone. Josh Howard Presents: Sasquatch is a 250 page anthology featuring dozens of indie creators including David Hartman, Martin Abel, Courtney Huddleston, Jason M. Burns, Wes Molebash, and many more. Brimming with creativity and just sheer oddness, the end result is a package that is sometimes violenujhit, sometimes frightening, sometimes charming, and consistently entertaining. Howard starts off the anthology with a short story about a woman being stalked in the woods ... but is it by the sasquatch or something worse? The other 27 stories are a creative tsunami: some are straight horror stories such as "Saw Mill Horror" by David Hartman and "An Abominable Christmas" by Jason M. Burns, Frances Liddell, and Greg Gatlin; others are science fiction such as " Sasquatch Vs. UFOs" by Greg Gatlin; and still others just defy classification such as the yeti-with-a-crane-arm by Molebash and Pat Bussey. My favorite story is "Sasquatch & Timmy" with art by Wes Molebash and colors and letters by Justin Stewart. Unlike some of the other stories, this tale is more Saturday morning cartoon than EC Comic--and in this case, that's a good thing. The set up is this: Timmy is a lonely kid who discovers a sasquatch while taking out the trash. The two become friends, and then Timmy takes his new friend to school for show and tell. For a story with such an odd premise, it has a lot of heart. The art by Molebash perfectly complements the story, and I'd love to see the continuing adventures of this oddball pair in the future. Other stories worth noting include the second Howard tale, "The Hunt"; the disarmingly sad "Little Bigfoot" by Any ND! Green; EC-inspired "Bloody Forest of Sasquatch" by Bryan Baugh; and the aforementioned "Saw Mill Horror". The $24.95 cover price might seem steep, but for 250 pages, the majority of which are in color, it's not a bad deal. Definitely worth a read because of its solid creative teams and yeti-sized concepts.
