It’s Cryptics time! STEVE NILES and BEN ROMAN take readers on a wildly funny trip in a universe where little monsters grow up in the suburbs, go to school and make monsters in the laboratory! It’s the MONSTERS as kids: Jackie Jekyll junior, Drac, Wolfy and Sea-Boy spill onto the pages with hilarious escapades and uproarious mayhem. If you think your kids are trouble, you ain’t seen nuthin’ until you’ve seen THE CRYPTICS!
