Melvin Monster

In 2023, Drawn & Quarterly revived John Stanley’s classic character with a new Melvin Monster series. The first issue reintroduces the sweet, young monster navigating a world of friendly ghouls and spooky suburban whimsy, preserving the creator’s distinctive blend of gentle humor and offbeat charm. This single-issue return matters as a faithful tribute to a beloved, underappreciated figure in American comics.
