From the celebrated creator behind Starman comes this new monster-filled mystery noir. Monsters, mobsters, and mystery...all in one city!

It's a city like any other, filled with citizens living and working side-by-side, except...everyone here is a monster! Welcome to LOS MONSTRUOS, a place unlike any other.

The city of Los Monstrous, located on the West Coast of America in the 1950s, is populated solely by monsters of all the kinds you'd find in classic black and white horror movies. They're all just getting on with their lives, working, doing jobs, nothing bad, nothing evil. Well apart from the crooks and gangsters in Los Monstruos's underworld, but every city has those, right?

All cities have private detectives too, and werewolf P.I. Perry Cutter has a simple case that's quickly turning into a king-size headache. Initially hired to find an old man's lost love from among the city's vampire community, Perry quickly finds things spiraling out of control as both vampire and Egyptian mummy criminal gangs get involved. So as Perry looks for answers, he runs a gauntlet of danger, while also uncovering dark secrets about his own past as a cop for the Los Monstruos Police Department.

Can Perry solve the case, put his own history to rest, stay alive, and still make that date he has with the cute vampire waitress he's been courting? It sure going to take all his skill as a detective and his abilities as a werewolf to do it.

The city of Los Monstruos! Come for the sun, stay for the monsters and mystery.

Collects Los Monstros #1-#4.
