Blue and gold illustration. A spiral vortex dominates a night sky, ringed by concentric black line work with a glowing yellow center. A trail of yellow eyes, each marked with an “O,” grows in size along the upper left, watching the spiral. Bottom left shows an industrial skyline of smokestacks in silhouette. Bottom right, a yellow-lined figure with spiked hair, a jagged scar down one cheek, and a cloak bearing a bat emblem and the letter “S” looks on. Signed “Jimmo” in the lower left corner.
Black-and-white ink and photo collage. A large clawed hand, rendered in loose ink linework, reaches down over a rain-streaked dark background. Below it, a vintage family photograph shows a group standing near water beside an old car, alongside a separate image of a soldier holding a child. A small horned or antlered figure with hanging beads appears in the upper right. Faint handwritten text reading “the olde nor—” is visible near the bottom, partially obscured. A second clawed hand appears in the lower right corner. Torn paper edges frame the composition.

Black and white ink illustration of a towering antlered, humanoid figure standing at the end of a quiet residential street at night. The figure’s face is dark with white outlined eyes and streaming tear-like lines running down its body. Swirling spiral cloud formations fill the sky above rooftops and bare trees, with a dark octagon shape (resembling a stop sign) floating among the clouds. Houses with lit windows sit at the edges of the road.
A dark-covered book titled Good Boy — Islands of No Vol. III by Jimmo — propped on a wood stump outdoors.

Green foliage is visible behind.
Black and white illustration of a large, hooded figure with a masked face, cradling a snarling rat image against its chest.

Text reads: “For dessert we have war cake.”

A bold graphic illustration in deep purple, black, and gold. A massive, dark creature named Boyd looms at center, bearing a mask-like face with circular eyes and a wide grin. It carries a small human figure in one hand and a tentacled or segmented object in the other.
