Classic comics from the writer of "Melvin Monster"""""Created by Ernie Bushmiller, the beloved Brillo-headed Nancy starred in her own comic book series for years, written by arguably the greatest children's comics writer of all time, John Stanley. Most famous for scripting the adventures of Marjorie Henderson Buell's "Little Lulu," John Stanley is one of comics' secret geniuses. He provided a visual rough draft for all the comics he wrote and then handed off these "scripts" for someone else to render the finished art. No matter what comic he was writing, he breathed life into his characters. In Stanley's comics, Nancy is no longer a crabby cipher but a hilarious, brilliant, scheming, duplicitous, honest, and loyal little kid-a "real" little kid. Her adventures with her best friend, the comically destitute Sluggo, involve moneymaking schemes to afford ice-cream sodas, botched trips to the corner store for Nancy's Aunt Fritzi, and comically raucous attempts to remove loose teeth.Drawn & Quarterly is launching several kid-friendly volumes of "Nancy" and "Nancy and Sluggo" as companion volumes to "Melvin Monster" and Dark Horse's "Little Lulu" volumes. The books are designed by Seth ("The Complete Peanuts"; "Melvin Monster"; "Clyde Fans"; "It's a Good Life," "If You Don't Weaken").
