"Imagine Steven Spielberg and Tim Burton doing a UFO invasion epic using ordinary kids as the heroes..." - The Webcomic Book Club

"It's a fresh take on classic themes. And if Hughes' quirky humor or creepy horror stylings wasn't enough, MacNaughton's inks are nothing short of stunning..." - The Sequential Tart

"... Heavy comedy, back to back jokes, stabs at military officers that feel like they should have found their way into Dr. Strangelove, and all around good wholesome entertainment." The Independent Comics Front

2007 Glyph Comic Award Nominee, "Rising Star" Category

What is "G. A. A. K: Groovy Ass Alien Kreatures"? It's like "ET"--With teeth. It's like "Gremlins" if they came from outer space and had great comic timing. "G. A. A. K: Groovy Ass Alien Kreatures" is what you get when you mix classic 80's teen movies like "The Goonies" with equal parts of classic 50's style creature feature movies like "The Invaders from Mars".

When aliens from outer space lead by the kooky maniacal alien Gakk and his army of Acme Instant Alien Kreatures invade a small suburban town called Eden'sVille and hatch a fiendish plot to conquer the earth and meet the original cast of "Star Trek", four misfit teens (geeky Zach, tomboyish Jemmy, wisecracking Chubs, and nerdy Plato) defend their small town and the world from invasion and show the aliens that the kids of america don't take crap from nobody--And no body snatchers, either!!!

"G. A. A. K: Groovy Ass Alien Kreatures (The Complete Graphic Novel. A Funny Science Fiction Adventure Books for Kids)" by writer/creator Darryl Hughes and artist Monique MacNaughton. A scifi, monsters-run-amok, alien invasion adventure in the Spielberg tradition. It's like "The Goonies" meets "The Invaders from Mars".
