More maniacal monster meltdowns
Continuing Drawn & Quarterly's John Stanley archival series, Melvin Monster Volume Two is about the oddball monster boy who just wants to be good, go to school, and do as he is told. A satirical and funny sendup of the monster craze of the 1960s, Melvin Monster is a classic kids comic of the Silver Age. Stanley's reputation as a great storyteller and visual comedian is richly deserved - few golden or silver-age comics stand the test of time the way these comics do. As with all volumes in the John Stanley Library (Nancy, Thirteen Going on Eighteen), covers and interiors are designed by the award-winning cartoonist Seth, who is the designer of the bestselling Peanuts archival collection.
