Speaking of monsters, every year the list of exhibits and events tied to Halloween seems to get longer. Whether this is a cultural return to childhood or just good niche marketing I can’t figure. This year, my favorite Halloween treat came to me in the mail in the form of a comic book, Boo! Halloween stories by Manning Krull and Jon Morris. The local Krull and Tucson-based Morris put together some bedtime stories right out of Itchy and Scratchy — bloody and bloody funny. Nicely drawn, for $3 it’s no trick. Available online.
