Monster Allergy is an Italian comic book series created by Alessandro Barbucci, Katja Centomo, Francesco Artibani and Barbara Canepa of Sky Doll. Barbucci and Canepa had previously co-created the W.I.T.C.H. comic series. [1] Monster Allergy lasted 29 issues; however, it is still in the course of reprints in newspaper stands on the 13th of every month. [2] In 2008, Barbara Canepa stated that she and her co-creators gained back the copyright to Monster Allergy after its first publishing run. [3]
On 24 May 2015, Tunué announced the new edition of the complete comic book, in two volumes of over 700 pages each, including a final unpublished episode. [4]
A sequel series titled Monster Allergy Evolution began in 2016.
Monster Allergy details the adventures of Elena Potato, who moves with her family to Old Mill Village, and Ezekiel Zick, whose father is missing and is affected by all sorts of allergies including one that allows him to see monsters. Together, they uncover the secrets of the world of monsters. Zick and Elena face terrible danger and enemies, which they are usually able to overcome. They are aided by Timothy-Moth, Zick's "cat", who is actually a kind of monster called a Tutor. Timothy oversees the monsters who live in Zick's house which is an oasis for criminal monsters. [5] [6]
Monster Allergy Evolution follows the adventures of Zick and Elena in college, where they eventually enter into a romantic relationship.
Monster Tamers pass the natural power of the Tone from parent to child, thus creating long dynasties of heroes. Tamers are able to spot monsters and tame them. If the monster refuse to be subdued, they are captured and imprisoned in special containers, a Taming Box (Dombox) to prevent their escape. Every type of monster needs its own special Taming Box (Dombox) and canning method. The Tamer's special skill lies in mastering these methods and in knowing all the different types of monster races. Most importantly, a Tamer must master the Tone, which is extremely powerful but is strictly connected and dependent on the skills of the Tamers who wields it. Tamers have a particularly sensitive sense of smell, which helps them perceive the presence of monsters or danger in general. [7]
In the monster world, the Astronomer Monsters create this Universal Sign to know the characteristic of a person or a monster to predict their future and knowing their personalities. [13]
How to know your sign: Add up the numbers of your birthday (for example if you've born on 26 November, you have to add 2+6+1+1=10 and then 1+0=1), Find the number of the respective signs. But if you got a 9, then you can choose between the first and last sign. [13]
Monster Keepers are humans who can "see" monsters and allow them to live in their homes, in Detention Oases. They help the Tutors defend the monsters from the dangers of the human world as well as the monster world. The gift of Sight is passed from parent to child, and few special people, so that entire generations of Keepers can look after the Oasis in total secret. [13]
A Keeper can give the "Gift of Sight" to the successor by putting their hands over their eyes. Mrs. Barrymore did this to Elena so she could be a better keeper. The donor does not lose their vision because they're only passing a tiny part of their powers. It's then up to the young Keepers to strengthen their vision through time. [13]
In the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries, Monster Allergy was published as a comic magazine last September 2004. However, Summit Media (the publisher of Monster Allergy in the Philippines) stopped publishing Monster Allergy at the 14th issue. [19] In Malaysia, it stopped publishing it at the 27th issue. Chuang Yi Singapore finished publishing it until the 29th issue, the last of the comic book series. The comic book titles are quite different from the television series titles. Every issue contains a 44-page Monster Allergy story except the 30th issue that has 30 pages. [20]
A trading card game based on the same name was created by Upper Deck Company. [21] It contains 110 collectible cards to play. [22] [23] Art was done by Blason Studio.
A 3D action adventure PC game was developed Artematica Entertainment in 2006. Copies of the game were given away in cereal boxes in Italy [24]
An animated series based on the comics was jointly produced by Futurikon, Rainbow, M6, Rai Fiction and ZDF. [25] It was broadcast on Rai 2 in Italy, on Nickelodeon in The Netherlands and Belgium, [26] on KiKa in Germany, on M6 in France, on YTV in Canada, and on Kids' WB in the United States.
