Doc Stearn...Mr. Monster


Doc Stearn...Mr. Monster is a comic book featuring a superhero created by Michael T. Gilbert, most recently published by Dark Horse Comics. The character first appeared in Pacific Comics Vanguard Illustrated #7. Later the character graduated to his own monthly series Doc Stearn...Mr. Monster from Eclipse Comics.
Mr. Monster was derived from an old 1940s character created by Fred Kelly who appeared only twice in 1940s Canadian comic books. After trademarking Mr. Monster, Gilbert heavily revised the character, creating a horror/humor hybrid which often featured heavy satire of both the horror genre and superhero comics in general.
