Monsterpalooza 2012: Tarantula

We’re doing a joint post during October with our friends David Cowles and Jesse Marinoff Reyes, celebrating 31 great monsters. We’ll have a new comic, book, or magazine cover every day, and David and Jesse will have lots more photos, posters, and graphic collectibles.
