Who Are Devil Girl And Moon Dinosaur? Find Out In April’s ‘Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur 10th Anniversary Special’
by Tony Thornley
It’s hard to believe that it’s been a decade since Lunella Layfette made her debut. In April, her original creators return to celebrate in Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur 10th Anniversary Special.
The giant size one shot features two tales starring the Marvel Universe’s smartest hero and her time displaced T-Rex best friend. In the first, two of Moon Girl’s co-creators, Brandon Montclare and Natacha Bustos return to tell a tale of superhero adventure on one of the biggest milestones in a kid’s life. And in the second, Justina Ireland and Luca Claretti debut Moon Dinosaur and Devil Girl, important figures in Lunella’s legacy in the Marvel Universe.
“Time flies when you’re having fun!” Montclare said. “It was 2015 when a lot of talented creators joined Natacha Bustos and I to bring Moon Girl to life. It seems like only yesterday that Marvel had a brand new super genius super hero—and she was only 9 years old. To celebrate 10 years with the character, the two of us (and a bunch more amazing talents) are celebrating Lunella Lafayette’s 10th Birthday. Join us for the big party.”
“Returning to draw Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur feels like coming home,” Bustos shared. “The series has always been significant to me. It is remarkable how this character has resonated across diverse contexts over the past decade and fascinating to consider that many adult readers of these new pages are the same kids who have grown up with the comic book series initially.”
“Brandon and Natacha are giving us and Lunella one of the best birthday stories in Marvel history!” Editor Mark Paniccia promised. “And I can’t wait for readers to discover Lunella’s descendant, Devil Girl, and her laser-eyed, flying blue dino! You can’t miss this special!!”
Check out the covers to the issue from Bustos, Nick Bradshaw, and Anand Ramcheron and watch for the extra sized celebration in April from Marvel Comics.
