Maze Comic Book Cover #97 - Emerald Isle

Issue #97 in my comic book cover series is called Emerald Isle and features a maze of a Celtic Warrior. This maze was originally made way back in early 2024 but did not fit into the schedule until now. The background uses starryai. I left the face white and used a celtic knot for the headwear.

My comic book cover mazes can be found in 2 places:

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 1 (Issues #1-53)

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 2

To receive a book of my first year of comic book book mazes (Volume 1 with mazes #1-53) you can sign up for my book alerts - any time I launch a free maze book, or paid book (on Amazon), I will send you a note about the new book launch.

Maze of the Week #201 - Monster Truck Maze

Introducing Maze of the Week #201 featuring a Monster Truck Maze. I once attended a monster truck show in an arena where I sat in a loge. I do not remember how I got the tickets but I had a great time ! It was LOUD and the air was DIRTY. When I finished drawing this maze and went to color it I realized the designs could be epic, so I left the maze as a dual maze/coloring page so you can design the truck yourself !

Free Maze download is available in the Vehicle Maze section of the site.

Food Maze Section Updates

I just finished my second section of maze updates and I’ll tell you a bit about what I did and you can expect to see. I previously updated the Animal Maze section of the site which you can read about in this blog post. Food Mazes are now also updated on the site. It was one of the largest sections on the site with 69 mazes but also one of my first sections and in need of some updating. Here is what I did:

• Reorganized by difficulty level

Before this was a large scrolling page with each maze shown and you clicked on the maze to download a pdf of it (no button). Now they are in easy, medium and difficult sections in a gallery format. This should make the page faster to load. Downloads are available by clicking under the gallery.

• Re-made many mazes to be easier

I took some of the existing mazes and made them more kid friendly. In many cases both versions are on the site now. Here is an example of a maze I made in an easier version while keeping the hard version also :

• I made adjustments to improve old mazes

Larger pathways, changes to the start and goal, filling more of the page, changing sizing. Basically I changed anything that I thought would improve the maze when printed or solved on the screen. Here is an example of a cheeseburger maze with the before and after:

• I removed some old artwork I didn’t like

I removed some of the old mazes I didn’t like. I do not think they will be missed, but google image search may end up disagreeing on a few. I ended up with 73 mazes in the new format vs. 69 in the old, so more mazes although some are of the same food illustration with different mazes.

• I added a food maze booklet

I picked out 14 food mazes, 8 easy and 6 medium difficulty and formatted them into a booklet to download and print. I assume nobody wants 70+ mazes, so I settled on 14. Enjoy !

Animal Maze Section Updates

I have been thinking about updating some of the older sections of the website and I am starting with the Animal Maze section. Most of these mazes were from 2019 and have not been touched since. Here is how I changed the Animal Maze section of the site to improve it.

• Remade some mazes to improve their solvability

I went back I changed many of my mazes of the week earlier this year using new techniques I have learned through the years. I didn’t do anything too advanced on these but did touch the majority of them. Here are 2 examples that illustrate most of my changes:

For this Mule maze I changed the start/goal to words from arrows. This increases the amount of the page the illustration can take up, making it larger and easier to solve:

Original mule maze

Updated mule maze

For this Iguana maze I changed the width of the “cuts” that form the pathway at the start/goal and internally. This makes them easier to see on a small screen. I also increased the size slightly.

Iguana old maze

Iguana revised maze

Most people would not notice these changes, but I hope this helped improve the section to the future users !

• I revised many mazes to be more kid friendly

This is a fancy way to say I made many of the mazes easier. For most it meant redrawing the maze completely, but a few I made minor changes to. This example shows the more extreme version with the Hippo Maze, one is clearly for kids and the other for advanced maze solvers !

• I added new animal mazes !

New mazes include an armadillo, jellyfish, urchin, turtle, and zebra. In total there are now 47 mazes on the page from 30, plus a preview of 3 additional comic book style mazes available in that section of the site. Here is a fox, or zorro maze in Spanish as an example:

• I created 3 new free Animal Maze Books.

I themed them From A to Z, so not all of the animal mazes are included, but 26, one for each letter are in the books. One version is in full color, while the other version is in black and white, making it a maze/coloring book. I also got requests for more of this version. It has been very popular with my Dinosaur Maze Book if you missed that one !

The third version has 27 mazes and is in Spanish (you can thank ñ for the extra maze). It is available with all the Spanish language books and in the archive of Spanish language mazes. I had to make some new mazes to cover all the letters in Spanish.
