"It’s telling that the foreword to Brazilian cartoonist Gustavo Duarte’s rambunctious, gleefully bloody new book Monsters! and Other Stories is written by Sergio Aragonés, the legendary gag cartoonist for Mad magazine. Duarte, like Aragonés, specializes in the laugh-out-loud comics moment—the perfectly posed juxtaposition or perfectly timed anvil-drop that makes readers not just smile or titter but guffaw." ~Dan Kois is a contributing writer to the New York Times Magazine.
