“Mummy, I’m scared of MONSTERS!”
Are you scared of monsters too?
Is there a monster under your bed, a monster in your closet, or a monster in the corner of your ceiling? (Hang on, that’s just a spider …)
Maybe the monster isn’t really a monster at all; it’s just misunderstood.
Or maybe the monster is YOU.
Prepare to be terrified, provoked, amazed and entertained by these 11 monstrous short comics for children by Karen Beilharz and some of Australia’s best independent comic creators.

Posy (age 4)“I’m the Lightning Fang!!! My hugs are shocking.”
