“ACHOO!†Insight Comics Brings a Beloved YA European Series to the US
Monster Allergy is a series of upbeat stories of two plucky tween outsiders that pair fantastically quirky humor with the lasting appeal of the supernatural. Allergy-prone Zick has the ability to see invisible monsters living among us, a handy talent to have when the creatures misbehave and need to be tamed. Taming monsters may not be an easy task, but these kids are committed to it. With some help from their cat, of course…
The bright and colorful Monster Allergy series, created by Barbara Canepa, written by Francesco Artibani (Disney Moby Dick, Starring Donald Duck) and Katja Sentomo with illustrations by Alessandro Barbucci (Sky Doll) and Barbara Canepa, has achieved huge global success and gained a large, dedicated following in Europe. The series has grown to include multiple spin-off stories spanning more than 38 issues of content, trading card games, a stage play adaptation, and an animated show broadcast worldwide that premiered in 2006 on WB Kids and was later featured on Netflix. Now, Insight Comics is excited to bring Monster Allergy to young adult readers in the US!
