description: Classic comics from the writer of Melvin MonsterCreated by Ernie Bushmiller the beloved Brillo-headed Nancy starred in her own comic book series for years written by arguably the greatest childrens comics writer of all time John Stanley. Most famous for scripting the adventures of Marjorie Henderson Buells 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 Stanleys comics Nancy is no longer a crabby cipher but a hilarious brilliant scheming duplicitous honest and loyal little kida 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 Nancys Aunt Fritzi and comically raucous attempts to remove loose teeth.Drawn &amp; Quarterly is launching several kid-friendly volumes of Nancy and Nancy and Sluggo as companion volumes to Melvin Monster and Dark Horses Little Lulu volumes. The books are designed by Seth (The Complete Peanuts; Melvin Monster; Clyde Fans; Its a Good Life If You Dont Weaken).
