Bruce Timm's art is unmistakable and his work has spanned almost four decades. Now, Flesk Publications has collected more than 130 examples of his horror art into one volume titled, FIENDISH MONSTERS: THE HORROR ART OF BRUCE TIMM. Sometimes sexy, sometimes sinister, but always spooky, Timm has elevated the art of cartoon horror to a new level and this book aims to prove it.
From the publisher:
Fiendish Monsters: The Horror Art of Bruce Timm
Enter the dark, gleefully twisted world of B.T. in Fiendish Monsters: The Horror Art of Bruce Timm!
This frightful collection showcases nearly forty years of the legendary artist’s favorite horror-themed artworks. Featuring more than 130 pieces, this volume opens the vault on Timm’s personal drawings and private experiments created purely for his own amusement. It also showcases rarely seen illustrations and contributions to fanzines, Little Shoppe of Horrors magazine, books, and more.
Guided by Timm’s candid commentary, readers are taken on a tour through his creative process. From rough sketches and preliminaries to fully finished ink and painted works. He reveals alternate designs never before shown, dives into his love of classic horror films and actors from his youth, and discusses how he refined certain pieces to their final, haunting arrangement.
Inside you’ll find rare spot illustrations, unpublished alternate versions, and experimental pieces, some of which pay homage to the artists who shaped his distinctive voice. Timm’s work sits in that irresistible sweet spot between realism and his iconic animated style, capturing everything from monsters to beautiful women with equal passion.
A celebration of one of his favorite genres and the sheer joy of drawing, this book invites you to step inside Bruce Timm’s shadowy playground of macabre moods, and ghastly delight.

Timm has an arresting and entertaining style which is oddly suited to monsters of all kinds. I'm currently watching Batman The Animated Series which helped to make that style popular. It's full of creepy creations as well.
