[[caption-width-right:350: Yup, just a normal monster gang. [[SarcasmMode Sure]].]]

->''Monsters are real.''
->''They exist.''
->''Vampires, werewolves, witches, mummys and other night creatures... All of them are real.''
->''But... Chsssst! It's a secret.''
->''They're cities that officially don't exist. They don't appear in any human map. They're inaccessible places, protected by impregnable mountains, labyrinthine forests, terrible rivers and ancient magic. But they're beings that can get there... and live there. Beings that have something in common: they want to live peacefully, far away from humans, that plague that spreads across the entire planet.''
->''That beings are... Monsters! And they populate these cities throughout the world: Miedópolis, La Nuit Noir, Aaaah! City, Monsterland, Bloodgrad, Forever Halloween, Maldiciünd...''
->''But we are interested in another city. Maybe is not one of the biggest, since only live there fifty monster families. Maybe is not one of the most famous, since even in some monster maps doesn't appear. But as you get to know it... Sure it'll become your favourite! It's Villa Susto... where they reach the adventures of the Mini Monsters. Who are the Mini Monsters? If you want to know... keep reading.''

A ComicBook series created by the Spanish author David Ramirez, published monthly in the Spanish magazine ¡Dibus! since its start in the year 2000 until 2015, where the magazine ended being published, being one of the long-runners of the magazine. There are four monographic albums: “El Veneno de Porcelana” (2003), “El Perfeccionator” (2006), “¡Historias para no Dormir!” (2007), and “El Gran Partido de Calabacesto” (2012); and in 2018, a recompilation of the whole comic was released, including the remaining stories and some in “Todo Mini Monsters”. The plot takes in a small town called Villa Susto, where monsters who want to be far from humans live. Victor Von Piro (A [[SpoiledBrat high-class]] vampire and main protagonist) moves to Villa Susto, much to his changrin. There he meets his new friends, The Frank’s gang: Frank Einstein Jr. (A genius [[FrankensteinsMonster Frankenstein]] and leader of the gang), Lupo (A narcoleptic werewolf), Momses (A mummy with an obsession of sports), Gus (A cute, but fearful ghost) and Piruja (A very amorous [[CuteWitch witch]]). Together, they will live a lot of misadventures involving them and the rest of the people in Villa Susto.

No relation and not to be confused with the segment of the same name from ''WesternAnimation/TheComicStrip''.

Quotes are translated, as they’re in Spanish.
----
!!This comic contains examples of:

%% * AllGhoulsSchool: Villa Susto’s local school. It’s a monster town, so…
%% * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Billy and Quasim, though they have very good reasons to be in this trope.
%% * AlphaBitch: Although is a male character and isn’t popular, Morty definitely fits this trope. Her “girlfriend” Guillotine is more of a LovableAlphaBitch.
%% * AntiVillain: Guillotine is a Type I: She's very rude and mean to others, but shows her softest side with Piruja, being like an older sister to her. She will do anything to make her happy, such as hooking her with Victor, no matter how mean and sadistic are her ways. Mienai and Skin are a Type IV.
* ArtShift: In one strip, Victor drinks all of Piruja's transmutation potions, changing his art style each time he drinks a potion, which he doesn't notice as he can't see his reflection due to being a vampire. Then, when Piruja tries to redo them in time for the class, the rest of the gang drinks them all, thinking they were juices prepared by the professor.
%% * BadassCrew: Frank’s gang can be this when it’s convenient. Or, at least, they try.
%% * BarbaricBully: Quasim. He's huge and strong, and no one can beat him... [[spoiler: Except Miss Hit]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: The Frank’s gang are good most of the time, but mess with them and they will kick your ass hard. [[BadassBookworm Especially Frank]].
* BigBad: Changes depending on the album:
** First, we have Rattus Sapiens, an [[EvilGenius evil genius]] humanoid rat who wants to destroy Villa Susto.
** In the second one, we have Miss Hit, [[spoiler: Henrietta's alter-ego]]. After [[spoiler: her defeat]], she becomes much more of a [[JerkAss jerkass]].
** In the fourth one, we have the infamous Morty Vivente, who goes as far [[spoiler: as hiring a giant spider to get rid of his rivals and win the match. He fails.]]
** Also, there's [[HunterOfMonsters Flan Hellsing]].
%% * BigBrotherInstinct: Frank has this with his gang, especially Gus.
%% ** Lupo towards his younger siblings.
%% * BitchAlert: When Miss Hit appears for the first time, it's clear she's bad news. ''Very bad news''.
* BrilliantButLazy: Lupo is slow due to his constant sleepiness, but he is very far from being stupid, as it shows that he’s very witty. It could be considered as a GeniusDitz case.
* CannotSpitItOut: Frank and Henrietta definitely love each other, but they can't tell their feelings because of [[TwiceShy shyness]]. Also, [[spoiler: Henrietta's alter-ego]] Miss Hit does not help at all. Unsurprisingly, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt all people think they're a couple]], and Frank constantly [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend denies it]].
** WordOfGod says that [[OfficialCouple they’re a couple]]. Moreover, the author said that he created Henrietta, so Frank could get a girlfriend.
** The cover of the second album [[http://dreamers.com/davidramirez/PortadillaMiniMonsters2.jpg confirms this]].
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: A lot of the character in the comic had shown progress and HiddenDepths. Special mention goes to Frank: In the first album, he was a bit of a jerk, but from the second album onwards, he [[TookALevelInKindness mellowed into]] a Type B {{Tsundere}}.
%% * ComedicSociopathy
%% * CoolBigSis: Guillotine is this to Piruja, being one of [[PetTheDog her redeeming qualities]].
%% ** Also, the entire Frank's gang are constantly called this by the Morty's gang... Who are the REAL losers between them.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: Villa Susto. Cute and rosy (somewhat) on the outside, [[QuirkyTown but happens a lot of weird things in that town]].
* Crossover:
** A special page was done for the [[MilestoneCelebration 100th edition of the ¡Dibus! magazine]] with the monsters celebrating the special edition alongside other comic characters featured in the magazine.
** A comic was done to promote VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet. There, the characters are inside the game and met Sackboy, who reveals that their author has recreated their town and put them inside the game.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Downplayed in "El Perfeccionator". While the story remains comical, things like split personalities and Frank's CharacterDevelopment makes the story slightly darker compared to the other ones. Not to mention the character of Miss Hit.
%% * DeadpanSnarker: Everyone in the comic has acted like this at least once.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Subverted hilariously in the first album, when Victor dresses himself as a beetle in order to trick Rattus Sapiens.
--> '''Victor''': Stop complaining and kneel... AT THE BEETLE GOD!
--> '''Rattus Sapiens''': The Beetle God GOES IN UNDERWEAR?!
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The artwork in the pilot comic ''Neewollah'' is more animesque in comparison to the simpler artwork the comic uses.
%% * ExtremeOmnivore: Exaggerated with Lupo and Skin, especially the former.
%% * TheFaceless: The adults. Averted with Victor’s grandmother.
* {{Facepalm}}: Many characters do that, but Frank does this more than anyone in the comic. Being the OnlySaneMan has its consequences...
--> '''Frank''': ''*After Momses accidentally breaks his invention*'' Thanks for finding it, Momses... ''*facepalm*''
** And in the same story:
-->'''Gus''': Frank, you're a g-genius!
-->'''Skin''': Emm... You should wait until he finishes talking, dude.
-->'''Gus''': Y-Yeah, hehehe...''
-->''*Frank explains his invention*''
-->'''Gus''': Have you finished?
-->'''Frank''': ...Yes.
-->'''Gus''': Frank, you're a g-genius!
-->'''Skin''': ''*facepalm*''
%% * FictionalSport: Calabacesto (Pumpkinball). It’s the main theme of the fourth album.
%% * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Victor is this to the Frank's gang (Except [[AbhorrentAdmirer Piruja]]), only admitted because of pity. Frank even tells him this '''IN HIS OWN FACE'''.
* GadgeteerGenius: Frank is considered this, but he’s more of a BunglingInventor because his inventions totally [[DitzyGenius lack common sense]].
%% * GoodIsNotNice: Victor Von Piro definitely fits this trope.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Frank is blonde, and he’s a very nice person. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Most of the time]].
%% * HairTriggerTemper: Victor's main trait besides his [[ItsAllAboutMe narcissism]].
%% --> '''Victor''': ''*holding a stick*'' I think it's time to someone to lose his milk teeth...
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Frank's opinion of himself is total crap.
** How much? We have this exchange in the second album:
--> '''Frank''': A girl? Why is she crying?
--> '''Henrietta''': Is a horrible monster!
--> '''Frank''': *''saddened''* ...for me.
** [[spoiler: She refereed to her evil alter-ego Miss Hit]], but makes it clear how bad his self-esteem is.
* HiddenHeartOfGold:
** Victor is implied to have one deep, deep, '''DEEP''' down his [[SpoiledBrat spoiled]] [[JerkAss jerkassery]].
** Guillotine has one too, only showing her loving side with her best friend Piruja, and sometimes Henrietta.
%% * HumansAreBastards: In this comic, humans are the "monsters", and the monsters "humans".
%% * HumansAreTheRealMonsters
%% * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Implied with Victor, and played straight with Frank and Flan Hellsing.
* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Momses talks in mummy, and only his closest friends and family can understand him. Lupo and Frank usually traduce what he says to the other people.
%% * IronicName: Piruja’s black cat, “Buena Suerte”, which means “good luck” in Spanish. [[AvertedTrope Yeah, right]].
%% * [[JerkAss Jerkass]]: This comic is filled by jerks, with most ones (mainly Victor and Guillotine) showing [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold better traits under that exterior]]. Morty and Quasim are definitely the worst.
* TheKlutz: Momses. He has not Buena Suerte’s “luck”, but he’s extremely clumsy due to his physical strength.
-->'''Victor''': ''*after Momses destroys Frank’s invention*'' AAAAH! WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS GUY?!
-->'''Frank''': ''*facepalm*'' That’s what is called the mummy’s curse…
* LaserGuidedKarma:
** In the first album, Victor helps Rattus in tainting Villasusto's water with the porcelain poison with the intention to move back to Miedópolis [[spoiler: and ends up paying the price upon accidentally drinking the water and crapping his pants as every toilet in the school is occupied.]]
** In the fourth album, Morty’s dirty tricks to win the match take a toll on him and his band. [[spoiler: They got beaten by Henrietta’s father; their rivals won the match, Morty lost his tickets to Miedópolis and he ends up with a thermometer in his ass]]. All of this is well-deserved, at least for Morty.
%% * LoveHurts: The main reason why Frank wants to create the Perfeccionator [[spoiler: if we don't count his self-esteem issues]].
%% * MeaningfulName: All characters have names that are based of famous monsters or mystical creatures. It's very common the use of the portmanteau.
%% * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Frank has this reaction when [[spoiler: he discovers his latest invention is used to kill the girl he loves]]. And man, [[TearJerker it's really depressing]].
%% * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Mr. Abra falls onto this trope a lot.
%% * OddFriendship: Victor and Frank, constantly picking each other. Also Lupo and Momses, but they get along much better than the other two.
* OhCrap: Has a lot of moments, recurring or not:
** Victor usually does this, particularly with Frank's [[ThisIsGonnaSuck inventions]] and Piruja’s [[AbhorrentAdmirer stalking demeanor]].
** Also, in the end of the first album, [[spoiler: the Frank's gang after accidentally drinking the poison. They end up with a big case of diarrhea]].
** Morty's face expresses this perfectly in the fourth album [[spoiler: when Frank shoots and scores the winning goal]].
** Frank does a nice one, seen [[https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t1.0-9/1959261_10202441295010466_711215417_n.jpg here]].
%% * PowerTrio: The main characters [[SpoiledBrat Victor]], [[GadgeteerGenius Frank]] and [[CuteWitch Piruja]].
%% * RedOniBlueOni: As a group, The Frank's gang (Blue) towards Morty's gang (Red).
* RotatingProtagonist: Although Victor is the lead character, the story focuses on other characters as well.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: When Victor and Gus have to face a giant monster, Gus is terrified and Victor tells him to stop screaming like a little girl, since he can stop him (due to his new abilities). However, he fails to do this ([[ButtMonkey obviously]]) and the monster defends himself with a giant rock. Cue OhCrap situation.
--> '''Gus''': V-Victor, can we scream l-like little girls now?
--> '''Victor''': ''*running away*'' [[BigYes YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!]]
%% * SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: A RunningGag between Frank and Henrietta.
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Lupo '''IS''' this trope so far, exceeding the absurdity limit. Also a RunningGag of the comic.
** One hilarious example of this:
-->'''Lupo''': Frank, help me! When I try to remember, I see everything black!
-->''*Lupo’s memories appear, with him sleeping in all of them.*''
-->'''Frank''': Could it be you remember the inside of your eyelids?
-->'''Lupo''': It will be that!
%% * SlobsVersusSnobs: Frank's gang (The good ones) and Morty's gang (The evil ones).
%% ** In the fourth album, we have the “Muerte Chunga” team (Evil) vs “Los Fresitas” (Good).
%% * StalkerWithACrush: Piruja is this to Victor, and nearly every guy she meets; much to their dismay. Her mother is [[ReallyGetsAround even worse]].
* StepfordSmiler: Frank is revealed to be a Type A, putting a happy mask to cope with his task as a leader and hide the fact that he has huge self-esteem issues due to his physical appearance. He gets better, though.
%% * StepfordSnarker: Lupo, being incredibly snarky and dealing with a very poor family at the same time.
%% * SurroundedByIdiots: Victor thinks this constantly.
%% * {{Swirlie}}: Quasim's main choice of torture to his victims.
%% * ToiletHumour: Oh, man, this comic has a lot of this, mixed with Spanish humor and BlackComedy. Well, considering the author's sense of humor is based on Akira Toriyama's...
* TrueCompanions: The Frank's gang. Sure, they don't like each other at times, but it's clear that they love each other deeply and stay together regardless. Victor's relationship with them is a case of FireForgedFriends (Piruja too, but in a much lower manner).
* VitriolicBestBuds: Victor and Frank. As they're polar opposites, both spend their time insulting and bickering each other constantly. However, neither of them can be separated and they're best friends, although Victor [[FriendshipDenial denies this]]. Confirmed by WordOfGod in the quote page.
* WalkingDisasterArea: Buena Suerte’s causes great accidents when he’s around. The only thing that could stop his disastrous luck is [[spoiler: being inside Lupo’s stomach]].
* WhamLine: In the second album, we have this line, which sets a notable MoodWhiplash and things become SeriousBusiness (This doesn't quit the comedic elements totally, though).
-->'''Miss Hit/[[spoiler:Henrietta]]''': You've been slow to realize... [[spoiler: ''*switches to her Henrietta persona*'']] ...Frank.
** [[spoiler: It was revealed previously to the viewer (And before, it was a CaptainObviousReveal), but not the main characters, so it's quite shocking InUniverse]].
%% * WithFriendsLikeThese: Victor has this relationship with the Frank's gang.
%% ** Much like Victor and ''everyone''.
