The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo #1

Drew Weing's The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo arrives from First Second in 2016 as a graphic novel brimming with spooky charm — the cover says it all, with the cool, flashlight-wielding Margo leading a wide-eyed kid through the shadows while a looming cast of fantastical monsters lurks menacingly behind them against a city skyline. The contrast of that bold yellow spotlight against the purple-tinged darkness perfectly captures the tone of "Chapter 1: City of Monsters," a story that balances genuine creepiness with kid-friendly adventure. If you're in the mood for monster-hunting with style, Margo Maloo looks like exactly the right guide.
