ALT Cover of the graphic novel My Aunt is a Monster. A blind brown girl with long curly hair, red glasses, white-and-red striped shirt, green pants and a white cane speaks to her audio recording device. She is walking together with her aunt, a tall, fashionable blue-furred monster with a dog's snout and pink nose, yellow eyes, black claws, green braids and a giant sun hat that partially obscures her face. The title text is whimsically drawn. The background is solid yellow.
