But the anachronisms in no way damper the fun-the jokes pile up as quickly as the carnage.' - Publishers Weekly

'Harrell’s exuberant, cinematic cartooning plays up the fun of his mashup concept despite the 19th-century setting, the dialogue is determinedly modern in a way that recalls the Shrek films. Just plain monstrous fun.' - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 'With a deliciously cinematic sense of both framing and pacing, this indie charmer is both quirky and novel expect it to appeal to fans of Jeff Smith’s Bone series. Harrell makes the jump from the newspaper page to the graphic novel with his sense of humor intact.' - Noel Murray, The AV Club like How to Train Your Dragon with a twist of Bloom County and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. 'A funny, exciting tale of melancholy monsters and eminent Victorians.

More, Rob, I want to hear more!' - Richard Thompson, creator of Cul de Sac and Richard’s Poor Almanac 'Rob Harrell reminds us of a more interesting time when cities took great civic pride in the quality and flamboyance of their local monsters, instead of something silly like football teams. And best of all: excellent monsters!' - Jeff Smith, creator of Bone 'Rob Harrell has jumped the fence from comic strips to graphic novels with ease, and brought with him wit, strong characters, and last minute twists. 'Really fun, goofy, extremely silly fantasy for readers of all ages, crying out for reviewers and critics to make appalling puns of the 'monstrously good' variety.' - Neil Gaiman One of YALSA's Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers!įeatured on ALSC's Graphic Novel Core Reading List (Grades 3-5)!
