Nightmare Hunter #1

“An artistic riot of monsters establishes a unique universe in this spooky series starter.”—Kirkus

“Smith’s aesthetic and characterization has a 1990s cartoon feel, and his full-page renderings of nightmare monsters are delightfully detailed. Readers will root for Maxwell and Sid as they team up to defeat the ultimate ghoul—blood-chilling Splithead—and escape the ­confines of her mind in one piece. VERDICT: A dark and fun foray into the horror comedy genre for young graphic novel readers.”—School Library Journal

“Smith (Bug Sandwich) deploys stylized cartooning rendered in psychedelic color to depict human characters (portrayed with varying skin tones) dwarfed by multi-eyed monsters, tentacled terrors, and snotty, toothy, creepy cryptids, while thick line art reinforces the frenetic feeling of entrapment in a strange and horrific place. Each chapter of this promising graphic novel series launch boasts thrills and humor that’s sure to impel readers into the next volume.”—Publishers Weekly
