In the vein of Joss Whedon, Attack the Block, and Saga, Dilraj Mann’s debut graphic novel explores friendship and corruption in a vision of the future not far from today.

Everyone remembers the day the monsters emerged. From deep within the earth, these huge creatures ran riot across Dalston, spreading terror. Then some kid rode one. Gangs formed, territorial battles ensued… and now two friends must fight for their lives as they discover the true depths of Dalston’s darkest secret.

The first graphic novel from one of Britain's coolest, most sought-after illustrators.
An exciting action story in the vein of Joss Whedon, Attack The Block and Saga, Dalston Monsterzz is poised to be Nobrow's breakout adventure comic for the indie comics scene.
A large hardcover graphic novel printed in spot colour, making it sure to stand out amongst competing titles.

Industry Reviews

"A beautiful, thrilling graphic novel, likely to appeal to 'Scott Pilgrim' enthusiasts or to fans of films such as Attack the Block and Cloverfield."
--Ann Foster, School Library Journal

"Mann's vibrant panels perfectly capture the tensions fueling the class battle simmering beneath the narrative."
--Kirkus Reviews

"The combination of Mann's artistry and intriguing story make it almost impossible to not finish in one sitting. Readers will likely be begging for a sequel."
--Booklist

"[Dilraj Mann] takes Miyazaki's environmentalist perspective and shifts it toward urban preservation."
--The AV Club

"Dalston Monsterzz calls to mind a huge variety of influences, mostly filmic: Akira, Attack the Block, Hayao Miyazaki, The Warriors, A Clockwork Orange. They're all in there, chopped up together into a sort of multicolored pate."
--Paste Magazine

"The monsters within the story are gorgeously illustrated and while the story at first seems like a simple...the socio-political aspects of the story and some intriguing last-minute twists keep things interesting."
--The Newest Rant

"Dalston Monsterzz is something special... and exactly what I would like to see from modern graphic novels."
--Comic Bastards
