Most famous for scripting the adventures of Marjorie Henderson Buell's Little Lulu , John Stanley is one of comics' secret geniuses. He provided a visual rough draft for all the comics he wrote and then handed off these "scripts" for someone else to render the finished art. No matter what comic he was writing, he breathed life into his characters. In Stanley's comics, Nancy is no longer a crabby cipher but a hilarious, brilliant, scheming, duplicitous, honest, and loyal little kid-a real little kid. Her adventures with her best friend, the comically destitute Sluggo, involve moneymaking schemes to afford ice-cream sodas, botched trips to the corner store for Nancy's Aunt Fritzi, and comically raucous attempts to remove loose teeth. Drawn & Quarterly is launching several kid-friendly volumes of Nancy and Nancy and Sluggo as companion volumes to Melvin Monster and Dark Horse's Little Lulu volumes. The books are designed by Seth ( The Complete Peanuts ; Melvin Monster ; Clyde Fans ; It's a Good Life , If You Don't Weaken ). Review: John Stanley was Brilliant! - John Stanley was a national treasure. His work was a large part of my childhood. I sought out his work with the same enthusiasm as I did for artist/writer creators like Carl Barks, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko. Stanley was amazing and really knew how to make kids laugh, no matter which of the many characters he was writing and illustrating. He remains a treasure to me, and these volumes of his work are a must-have for people who enjoy such magic. Review: John Stanley, The Master - Not every reader of Nancy is aware that Ryder and Artist, John Stanley, who wrote all of the little Lulu Comics throughout the 50s and into the 60s, also wrote in Drew some if not all of the Nancy comic books. In fact, his writing in the Nancy comic books is almost on a par with his work on little Lulu, the only difference being that the little Lulu characters are so much better and less limited than the ones in Nancy Comics. Stanley was a master. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,900,236 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #312 in Drawn & Quarterly Comic & Graphic Novels #2,512 in Literary Graphic Novels (Books) #3,157 in Comic Strips (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 65 Reviews | ## Images ![Nancy: Volume 1: The John Stanley Library - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wHJn7tRoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ John Stanley was Brilliant! *by J***H on April 6, 2026* John Stanley was a national treasure.
