OUT OF STOCK!
by John Stanley The fun continues in this, the latest volume of The John Stanley Library, the fabulous and fetish-worthy series of Seth-designed hardcover volumes that constitute Drawn and Quarterly's ongoing effort to bring the light of John Stanley to the dim and impoverished corners of the the comics reading world. Melvin Monster is the first title to receive a second volume, and, intriguingly, this fact (that this is the second volume) is not indicated anywhere on the cover of the volume, but is only noted on the idicia located in the standard position at the bottom of the first page of the first story; perhaps this was done in homage to the original issues, which, likewise, displayed no numbers on their covers. Whatever the case may be, this volume, like the first, contains three complete 32-page issues, for a total of 96 full color high resolution scans of the original comic book pages presented on high grade flat white paper. A true treat for the already initiated, and another chance for the rest to see the light.
