Written by Michael Brumm. Art and cover by Jeff Mack.

Lily knows better than to listen to the gossip her little brother, Henry, has heard, but when her school newspaper is in need of a big headline, the rumor that Bigfoot has spotted at school is the best lead Lily's got. The problem is that if Lily's going to break the story, she's going to have to get some legit evidence that this so-called showering yeti is really real.

So when claw marks appear on the football equipment and animal hair starts clogging the team's showers, no one's happier than Lily. But can Lily, Henry, and Oliver discover why Bigfoot has come to their school before it's too late?

Written by Walter Flanagan and Bryan Johnson. Art and cover by Walter Flanagan.

From the minds of Bryan Johnson and Walter Flanagan, stars of AMC's hit television show, Comic Book Men!

Shortly after Alan Ostman's daughter goes missing on a family camping trip, he finds himself living life on the fringes. After a particularly rough night, an industrialist interested in Alan's research focusing on the "alternative sciences" bails him out of jail and offers Alan a job. Think your boss is bad? At least they're (probably) not a leather pig-mask wearing, inter-dimensional miscreant bent on having a race of malignant beasts exterminate the world's best known cryptids and destroy the entire universe in the process.

Does humanity have a shot? A mythical society of Gray aliens didn't create Cryptozoic Man for nothing!
