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\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Stanley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1897299885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897299883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\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\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2010 pg. 67","brand":"John Stanley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058645037311,"sku":"9781897299883","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d24ee8ba-4f41-4561-8782-376ac3a7e5f9.jpg?v=1685053743","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thirteen-going-on-eighteen-john-stanley-9781897299883","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
