Since 2004, Doris Danger has been released in a lot of different books, in a lot of different formats. I created this page in the hopes it makes some sense of all the madness for you.
It all began with Tabloia Weekly Magazine, which was a pseudo-anthology of Tabloid Tales. Doris Danger’s first five appearances, one in each issue, as a five-page back-up story, inked by Dick Ayers:
TABLOIA WEEKLY MAGAZINE #572-576 (Salt Peter Press, 2004-05, 32 pages each except ish 576 “double-sized” 48 pages/B&W/comic-sized $3.95, ish 576 $5.95)

(ish 573) Chapter Two: Scrohtu/Vulvoo/Poogoo/Bungoo/Spanko, plus pin-ups by
Sam Kieth, Irwin Hasen, Bill Sienkiewicz,

Collects all issues and pin-ups from Tabloia Weekly Magazine #572-576
PLUS BONUS Chapter Six, and splash pages Peeka-Peeka, Pwapwapwah, Dabba Doo, and Sphinx-Tor!
NEXT, I wanted to make more stories, and decided some quick 16-page comics would be a fast easy way to get new stories out there:
DORIS DANGER… GREATEST ALL-OUT ARMY BATTLES and DORIS DANGER IN OUTER SPACE (Salt Peter Press, 2006, 16 pages each/B&W/comic-sized $2.50 cheap!)
(army battles) Chapter Seven: Hachoo,

(outer space) Chapter Nine: Oopf,
Chapter Ten: Muh!Muh!Muh!, plus splash pages
and pin-ups by Dave Gibbons, Al Feldstein, J.H. Williams III, and Peter Bagge!
DORIS DANGER SEEKS… WHERE URBAN CREATURES CREEP AND STOMP (Salt Peter Press, 2007, 64 pages/B&W/Taboid-Sized 9×13″ $11.95) , with cover by Shag!
64 pages/B&W/9″x13″ treasury-sized
A second treasury-sized collection to gather MOSTLY previously-published material! Collects all issues and pin-ups from Doris Danger Greatest All-Out Army Battles and Doris Danger in Outer Space, plus BONUS stories:
Chapter Eleven: Kockh,
Chapter Fourteen/2-03: KKK-K (slightly altered),
BONUS splash pages Spoosh, Snehsneh, and Choopeepoo,
AND BONUS pin-ups by Mike Allred (a new, second one), Guy Davis, Peter Kuper, Herb Trimpe, Michael Lark, and Esad Ribic!!
These two DORIS DANGER SEEKS treasuries collected everything I’d published of Doris Danger up to that time… and then Doris Danger came under the banner of SLG Publishing!
DORIS DANGER GIANT MONSTER ADVENTURES (SLG, 2009, 96 pages/B&W/pocket-book sized 5.5″x8.5″ $9.95)
Dan Vado, who ran SLG, said that he wanted the first Doris Danger volume to be – NOT all new material, but – a collection reprinting EVERYTHING; i.e., everything in the two 9″x13″ collections. THEN we’d publish a second volume of all-new material, which came to be Monstrosis. We designated 96 pages, and that meant leaving one story out – Chapter Fourteen/2-03: KKK-K. I also held back a number of the pin-ups, because Dan said he wanted it to be a comic book and not a pin-up book.
So this collection contained all the chapters from above EXCEPT Chapter Eleven: Kockh: Chapter One: Spluhh,
Chapter Two: Scrohtu/Vulvoo/Poogoo/Bungoo/Spanko,
Chapter Three: Fuggabluh,
Chapter Four: Plopsplu/The Honking Thing,
Chapter Five: Krakapoo,
Chapter Six: Aahblaah,
Chapter Seven: Hachoo,
Chapter Eight: Pudd,
Chapter Nine: Oopf,
Chapter Ten: Muh!Muh!Muh!,
Chapter Eleven: Kockh,
PLUS pin-ups by Mike Allred, Gene Colan, Peter Bagge, Ramona Fradon, Dave Gibbons, Russ Heath, Gilbert Hernandez, Jaime Hernandez, Mario Hernandez, Mike Mignola, Tony Millionaire, John Severin, and Bill Sienkiewicz, AND a not-yet published Arthur Adams.
MONSTROSIS (SLG, 2012, 176 pages/B&W/pocket-book sized HARDCOVER 5.5″x8.5″ $24.95)
All new material! … EXCEPT that it contains Chapter Eleven: Kockh from Doris Danger Seeks… Where Urban Creatures Creep and Stomp!
S IS FOR SPANKO: A FRIGHTENING AND REALISTIC GIANT MONSTER ALPHABET BOOK
(SLG, 2015, 32 pages/full color/digest-sized HARDCOVER 8.5″x11″, $19.95)
This book collected, with slight edits in artwork, text gags, and monster names (so that the entire alphabet was represented), my favorite 24 previously published giant monster splash pages, one for each letter of the alphabet.
