Most famous for scripting the adventures of Marjorie Henderson Buell's \u003ci\u003eLittle Lulu\u003c\/i\u003e, John Stanley is one of comics' secret geniuses. He provided a visual rough draft for all the comics he wrote and then handed off these \"scripts\" for someone else to render the finished art. No matter what comic he was writing, he breathed life into his characters. In Stanley's comics, Nancy is no longer a crabby cipher but a hilarious, brilliant, scheming, duplicitous, honest, and loyal little kid-a \u003ci\u003ereal\u003c\/i\u003e little kid. Her adventures with her best friend, the comically destitute Sluggo, involve moneymaking schemes to afford ice-cream sodas, botched trips to the corner store for Nancy's Aunt Fritzi, and comically raucous attempts to remove loose teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawn \u0026amp; Quarterly is launching several kid-friendly volumes of \u003ci\u003eNancy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNancy and Sluggo\u003c\/i\u003e as companion volumes to \u003ci\u003eMelvin Monster\u003c\/i\u003e and Dark Horse's \u003ci\u003eLittle Lulu\u003c\/i\u003e volumes.
