THE STORY SO FAR: A zombie, a witch, a ghost, a werewolf, and a vampire are sentenced to live in a castle belonging to a mad scientist. Unbeknownst to them, they all share the same judge and incompetent lawyer who seemed intent on sending them to the castle.


MONSTER SOUP began late one night in 2010 as a simple sketch of a sad-looking zombie. Rather than turn the page and draw something else, Julie wanted to know more about this sad fellow. By morning, the groundwork for MONSTER SOUP was well underway. For the next year and a half, she continued to brainstorm, redesign characters, strengthen the plot, and gather her courage. Chapters 1-4 were created using Adobe Photoshop and Paint Tool SAI. Halfway through Chapter 4, she switched to Clip Studio Paint EX. Other tools: a Cintiq 22HD + Razer Tartarus Gaming Keypad (v2).


JULIE DEVIN is an independent author and artist. Self-taught in all things relating to art, her love for comics found its beginnings at a young age. She would sneak into her older brother’s room and dig through his massive collection of comics, ranging from Marvel, DC, and anthologies of lesser-known creators. From then on, comics remained an inspiration when it came to storytelling and art.
