Reviews

I love, love, LOVE Monster Doctor! Monster Doctor is my new favourite book, it's hilarious, gross, spooky AND amazing. Filled with some of the weirdest, mostest grossest creatures you've ever seen, with a brilliant story threading them all together, and some really beautiful, innovative comic artwork throughout. Aaron's a superstar, and Monster Doctor should be read by EVERYONE!

Jamie Smart, creator of Bunny vs Monkey

Aaron Blecha's characters look fantastic on the outside and the inside (yes there are multiple drawings of the internal workings of various monsters in this book) and this story is a ridiculous delight to read. So many unhinged characters. So many ridiculous situations. Stupidly funny from beginning to end and there's even puzzles in the mix too. What did we do to deserve such a brilliant comic?
