Comments:
Originally a Canadian character from
the 1940's with only a handful of appearances to his name, Michael T. Gilbert
came across him in the 1970's, and in 1984 revived the concept. Since his
return, Mr Monster has appeared in books published by
Dark Horse,
Eclipse, and Tundra. Thanks to Mike Murphy
for clarifying many of the details of Stearn's origin. Other details come
from John Bell's excellent Canuck Comics.
Kelly is Mr. Monster's sharp, sexy gal Friday. She works up his monster-killing schedule, orders his weapons and so on.
Mr. Monster is one of the participants in War of the Independents.
CLARIFICATIONS: Not to be confused with
Mr.Monster, his father
any other Monsters
