The kids' comic classic, designed by Seth
The ghoulish capers of everyone's favorite monster continue with the
third volume of the acclaimed series. Melvin lands his first babysitting
job only to discover he has his hands full, literally-the "baby" in this
case is a giant monster, almost the size of a room. When Melvin meets
his friend for a friendly game of marbles, an older monster-woman
passing by is offended by the scene, as everybody in Monsterville knows
that monsters should always fight when they're together. Finally, she is
content only after forcing the two monsters into a scrap. Melvin also
attempts to be the first kid in Monsterville to attend school in more
than six hundred years, but he is thwarted each time by Miss McGargoyle,
his would-be teacher. He is threatened with boulders, giant boomerangs,
and even long-range missiles, but nothing can stop Melvin from wanting
to go to school every day. Melvin Monster illustrates just how
timeless the comics of John Stanley are.
