Monster on the Hill by Rob Harrell

Top Shelf is proud to announce the arrival of Rob Harrell, creator of the syndicated comic strip Big Top, and his first graphic novel series, Monster on the Hill. In a fantastical 1860s England, every quiet little township is terrorized by a ferocious monster -- much to the townsfolk's delight Each town's unique monster is a source of local pride, not to mention tourism. Each town, that is. except for one. Unfortunately, for the people of Stoker-on-Avon, their monster isn't quite as impressive. In fact, he's a little down in the dumps. Can the morose Rayburn get a monstrous makeover and become a proper horror? It's up to the eccentric Dr. Charles Wilkie and plucky street urchin Timothy to get him up to snuff, before a greater threat turns the whole town to kindling Monsters of all ages are sure to enjoy this tale about life's challenges, the power of friendship, and creative redemption, packed with epic battles and plenty of wild beasts
Really fun, goofy, extremely silly fantasy for readers of all ages, crying out for reviewers and critics to make appalling puns of the 'monstrously good' variety. -- Neil Gaiman

Rob Harrell is the creator and illustrator of the long-running daily comic strip Adam@Home, which appears in over 140 newspapers around the world. Before 2007, he also created and illustrated the internationally syndicated comic strip Big Top. In a starred review, Kirkus described Rob's first middle grade graphic novel, Monster on the Hill, as a delightfully cinematic...indie charmer. He and his wife live in Austin, Texas.
