Thirteen Going on Eighteen
John Stanley
In the early to mid-1960s, John Stanley turned his attentions to drawing and writing his own series, specifically Melvin Monster, Around the Block with Dunc and Loo, Kookie, and the most interesting of these titles, Thirteen Going on Eighteen, rather than working with already established licensed characters he is most well known for such as Little Lulu. D+Q has embarked on an archival series of Stanley’s comics including Melvin Monster, Around the Block with Dunc and Loo, Kookie and Thirteen Going on Eighteen.
Thirteen Going on Eighteen focuses on the friendship and rivalry of two teenage girls, Val and Judy. Each comic is a darkly hilarious look at the social maneuverings and betrayals of the teen set. Stanley’s stripped down approach perfectly captures the fever pitch of teenage years. He creates a teenage sit-com and turns it into an anguished character study.
Hardcover, 336 pages, 7.75 x 11 inches

Melvin Monster Volume 2
John Stanley
March 2010
Continuing Drawn & Quarterly's John Stanley archival series, Melvin Monster Volume 2 is about the oddball monster boy who just wants to be good, go to school, and do as he is told. A satirical and funny sendup of the 1960s monster craze of the 1960s, Melvin Monster is a classic kids comic of the Silver Age.
Stanley's reputation as a great storyteller and visual comedian is richly deserved - few golden or silver-age comics stand the test of time the way these comics do. As with all volumes in the JSL (Nancy, Thirteen Going on Eighteen), covers and interiors are designed by the award-winning cartoonist Seth, who is the designer of the bestselling Peanuts archival collection.

Melvin Monster Volume One
John Stanley
March 2009
John Stanley is celebrated as one of the great children’s comics writers for his work on the Little Lulu series. In fact, the Lulu work is a small part of his output, he had drawn and continued to write many other comics—notably his work on the 1960s teen comics from Dell (Thirteen, Dunc and Loo, and Kookie) and his monster comedy strip Melvin Monster. D+Q is planning on launching an extensive reprinting of much of this work in discrete volumes. Our first Stanley reprint will be the three-volume Melvin Monster collection featuring all nine issues of the oddball monster boy who just wants to be good, go to school, and do as he’s told. Designed to fit nicely with our current reprinting of Tove Jansson’s Moomin series, these comics are great reading for children or comics history-minded adults. Stanley’s reputation as a great storyteller and visual comedian is richly deserved—few golden- or silver-age comics stand the test of time the way these comics do.
Hardcover, 7.75 x 11 inches, 112 pages, color.
