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\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897299883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 8.18w x 1.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2010 pg. 67\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Stanley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43397760286901,"sku":"9781897299883","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9412b4db-b3ad-47d0-98a3-3c16e3be1cc9.jpg?v=1702393806","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/thirteen-going-on-eighteen-9781897299883","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
