Doc Stearn...Mr. Monster

Michael T. Gilbert’s Doc Stearn…Mr. Monster ran for eight issues from 1988 to 1991 under the Dark Horse banner, reviving a classic pulp hero with a modern, self-aware twist. The series follows the eccentric Doc Stearn, a man of science and adventure who dons a costume to fight supernatural and criminal threats, all rendered in Gilbert’s energetic, cartoon-influenced art. A love letter to Golden Age comics and monster movies, it stands as a cult favorite for its blend of humor, action, and affectionate pastiche.
