Barbucci and Canepa had previously co-created the W.I.T.C.H. comic series. Monster Allergy lasted 29 issues; however, it is still in the course of reprints in newspaper stands on the 13th of every month. In 2008, Barbara Canepa stated that she and her co-creators gained back the copyright to Monster Allergy after its first publishing run.

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Tunué announced the new edition of the complete comic book, in two volumes of over 700 pages each, including a final unpublished episode.

A sequel series titled Monster Allergy Evolution began in 2016.

Plot

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.

Monster Allergy Evolution follows the adventures of Zick and Elena in college, where they eventually enter into a romantic relationship.

Chapters

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. 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.
