D+Q has embarked on an archival series of Stanley's comics, including \u003ci\u003eMelvin Monster\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAround the Block with Dunc and Loo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKookie, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThirteen Going on Eighteen\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThirteen Going on Eighteen \u003c\/i\u003efocuses on the friendship and rivalry of two teenage girls, Val and Judy. Each comic is a darkly hilarious look at the social maneuverings and betrayals of the teen set. Stanley's stripped down approach perfectly captures the fever pitch of the teenage years. He creates a teenage sitcom and turns it into an anguished character study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781897299883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40594820366542,"sku":"9781897299883","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_9379e455-01f9-4392-873d-ce25a41bd1a9.jpg?v=1637819089","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781897299883","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
