Together, the art and story make My Favorite Thing is Monsters – due out on Feb. 13 – one of the most profound, ambitious and accomplished creative works to appear in any medium this decade. My Favorite Thing is Monsters is not only the debut graphic novel of its creator, Emil Ferris, it’s her first published work of any kind. She spent her days at the Art Institute of Chicago, determined to power through her disability using the power of art. She started work on Monsters when she was completing art school. It won an award that carried a $10,000 stipend, which she used as seed money to develop the work.
