Description
Designed by Seth, more children's comic fun from the writer of Little Lulu
The second volume of Nancy in D+Q's John Stanley Library, elegantly designed by Seth, stars the beloved Brillo-headed Nancy in her own comic book series written by the greatest children's comics writer of all time, John Stanley. Stanley, the author of Melvin Monster, Little Lulu, and Thirteen Going on Eighteen, puts his own deft sense of humor and superior cartooning on the Ernie Bushmiller creation with spooky Oona Goosepimple, Spike, and Mr.McOnion. Nancy, along with her sidekick, Sluggo, will charm readers young and old with her hilarious, scheming hijinks.
About the authors
John Stanley is an independent scholar and a senior policy advisor for the Management Board Secretariat of the Government of Ontario.
Seth is the cartoonist behind the comic-book series Palookaville, which started in the stone age as a pamphlet and is now a semi-annual hardcover. His comics have appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Best American Comics, and McSweeney’s Quarterly. His illustrations have appeared in numerous publications including the cover of the New Yorker, The Walrus, and Canadian Notes & Queries. He is the subject of a recent documentary from the National Film Board of Canada, Seth’s Dominion. Seth lives in Guelph, Ontario, with his wife Tania and their two cats in an old house he has named “Inkwell’s End.”
Editorial Reviews
Thank goodness that [Stanley's] iconic work has been reprinted for this generation by Drawn & Quarterly. Oh, and the fact that the whole tome's laid out by comic genius Seth does the publication no harm, either." - Anthem
"Drawn and Quarterly certainly paid attention to the book-asthree-dimensional-piece-of-art aspect. It's designed by John Stanley fan Seth . . . It's really just a gorgeous-looking book." - Newsarama
"A bona-fide hoot. " - Comic Book Resources on The John Stanley Library
