My Favorite Thing Is Monsters

A young girl who's obsessed with monsters and wants to be one herself, digs into her neighbor's mysterious death, uncovering family secrets on the way. Against a backdrop of Chicaco in the 60ies, the murder of MLK, school bullies, seedy neighborhood characters, a loving yet chaotic family...

Definitely a stand-out graphic novel, with a unique visual style as well. And with 400+ pages it's quite substantial. Only part 1 of 3 as I now learn.
