ECC Cartoonbooks Club: Hans Arnold's "Monsterland" and the ABBA link

I recently got knowledge of this book, as always by coincidence, in a second hand books shop. I was attracted by the very nice drawn creepy creatures. This had to be the work of a great artist. So I bought the book.

After some research I learned that Hans Arnold passed away in October 2010. He was born in Switzerland in 1925 but worked as an illustrator in Sweden from 1947 intil his dead last year.
