PINK MONSTERS HC

Pink Monsters HC marks the US comics debut of German creator Claus Daniel Hermann. In this quiet, moving coming-of-age tale, fourteen-year-old Frank navigates puberty, crushes, and the realization that he is gay, all while his gift for drawing monsters makes him popular at school. A mother and father wrestle with depression, and their search for healing leads them to Thea, a charismatic healer whose advice unsettles Frank. Thea's insistence that his drawings attract misfortune and her pressure about his sexuality push Frank to question loyalty to his family and his own truth. Through intimate, expressive art and restrained storytelling, the book traces a journey toward self-definition, friendship, and acceptance. This self-contained hardcover showcases Hermann's deft storytelling and artistry in a powerful, emotionally honest debut about identity, family, and choosing to become who you are.
