Naming Monsters (2013)

This adult Where the Wild Things Are is a warm, funny, intriguing, and sexually explicit take on what happens when your emotions become personified by monsters, and how you learn to live with them
Fran is a keen amateur cryptozoologist - an expert in the study of animals that may not exist - and she can't quite tell if the animals she meets are real or part of her imagination. But one thing is for sure: monsters are all around us. The year is 1993, and we join Fran on a wild ride around London while she negotiates its real or imagined menageries. Tales of strange creatures that might-have-been introduce each stage of her journey. Fran's adventure, often with her best friend Alex in tow, is a psychogeography of London and its suburbs - a picaresque graphic novel in which the grief of losing her mother is punctuated by encounters with her semi-estranged dad, her out-of-touch East London Nana, a selfish boyfriend, and the odd black dog or two.
