    Game Master’s Screen by Benjamin Marra & Zack Soto
    8" x 31.5".
    Sturdy, tri-folded cardstock
    "Do your maps, stats, and monster files keep getting out of order? Do your players keep peeking at your secret plans for them?
    WELL DWELL IN THIS NIGHTMARE WORLD NO LONGER!
    Get yourself a genuine Study Group Brand Game Master’s Screen with art by Benjamin Marra & Zack Soto!
    The front is filled with two-tone art by the one and only Benjamin Marra (OMWOT & American Blood). His fantastic, post-apocalyptic fantasy cyberpunk wasteland is populated with a collection of freaks as seemingly-familiar as they are surreal.
    The black & white back side of the screen by Zack Soto depicts a more traditional party confronted by a collection of Mega-Wizards floating in the sky! There’s even plenty of negative space for your own notes on the back."
    Benjamin Marra (born 1977 in Halifax, Nova Scotia) is a Grammy-nominated American illustrator and comic-book artist. His work has been mostly self-published under his own imprint, Traditional Comics, and mainly consists of black and white comics, printed on low-quality paper for a relatively low price. His drawing style is reminiscent of such artists as Paul Gulacy, Herb Trimpe and Spain Rodriguez, as well as the work of pinball machine graphic illustrators.
    The first comic book to leave an impression on Marra was Darick Robertson's Space Beaver, a hyper-violent science-fiction story featuring an anthropomorphic beaver, which has served as an inspiration for his later work.
    Marra's artistic training began at the School of Visual Arts, where his instructors included David Mazzucchelli, and where alternative comics artist Dash Shaw was a classmate. In 1998, Marra traveled to Florence, Italy to study painting.
    Of his own art style, Marra says, "I kind of see what I’m doing as like what the Stooges and the Ramones were doing as a reaction to that big, self-indulgent arena rock aesthetic. Making it really raw, really punk rock, really earthy, DIY, really gut-level, very basic in its execution. Not a lot of technical efficiency. Just, like, three-chord power pop songs. Really short. It’s supposed to hit you really fast, and it’s got a really emotional basis instead of a technical basis. It’s really based on people’s emotional response."
    Marra's comics and illustrations have appeared in such diverse media as Playboy, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Marvel Comics, Fantagraphics, Vice, Radar, Paper, Nylon, Widen+Kennedy and McCann-Erickson. He also works as web designer for the Major League Baseball Advanced Media.
    Zack Soto lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife Krista and their son Caspian. He's the publisher of Study Group Comic Books, co-editor of Study Group Magazine, co-host of the Process Party Podcast, and creator of The Secret Voice and Power Button comics.
