Giant Shanda Animal

From 1996 onward, Shanda Fantasy Arts' Giant Shanda Animal unfolded across 12 issues as a quirky, character-driven comic series. Its core creative team—writers Mike Curtis, John F. Martin, and Robert Teague, alongside artists George Chastain, Jerry S. Loomis, and Curtis himself—crafted a distinctive, offbeat world that has earned a dedicated cult following. The series stands out for its warm, inventive storytelling and remains a beloved artifact of independent, creator-owned comics from the late '90s.
