Overview
Pink Monsters is a moving and quiet coming-of-age story and the American comics debut of acclaimed German creator Claus Daniel Herrmann.
Frank is fourteen, in the midst of puberty, and slowly but surely realizing that he is gay. Despite his shyness, he is popular at school because of his talent for drawing: All the cool boys want an original drawing of his monsters to hang in their rooms. Meanwhile, Frank's father is suffering from depression. His illness is so serious that Frank's mother gives up on traditional medicine and contacts an esoteric healer, Thea. The charismatic woman not only gives his parents new hope, but the emotionally insecure Frank also finds security in her "secret knowledge." But when Thea blames Frank's drawings for his father's illness and later makes him feel guilty about his sexual orientation, Frank must jeopardize his relationship with his parents in order to truly become himself.
