John Stanley (cartoonist)
John Stanley (March 22, 1914 – November 11, 1993) was an American cartoonist and comic book writer, best known for writing Little Lulu comic book stories from 1945 to 1959.

His specialty was humorous stories, both with licensed characters and those of his own creation. His writing style has been described as employing "colorful, S. J. Perelman-ish language and a decidedly bizarre, macabre wit (reminiscent of writer Roald Dahl)", with storylines that "were cohesive and tightly constructed, with nary a loose thread in the plot"."John Stanley" by Don Phelps in the 1976 New Con Program Book He has been compared to Carl Barks,Seth (cartoonist), Seth (2009) "John Stanley's Teen Trilogy", in Ben Schwartz, ed., ''The Best American Comics Criticism'', Fantagraphic Press, Seattle, Washington.
