Production notes
Adapted from the comic strip by Azpiri and Nacho.
Best known as an illustrator of more "adult" fantasy, Alphonzo Azpiri (he and "Nacho," who wrote the scripts for the strip, are Spanish) is quoted as saying, "Women and strange beings having been a constant in my work, when the newspaper El País required me to create a character for a comic strip intended for children, I did not have to ponder for long. Why not create a monster?"
"I'm dreaming or am I mad? There's a monster hiding in my closet- it has trashed the house and takes me on journeys in space and time... My parents want me to see a psychiatrist."
Five hard-cover volumes of the Mot Monster strip were published between 1991 and 1993. A sixth, "The Wizard's Apprentice," remained unpublished.
French TV network Channel Plus (Canal +) bought the rights to commission an animated series based on the comic strip. The first pilot animation that Azpiri was shown depicted the characters just as he had conceived them, but after two years and a new director, Azpiri was disappointed with the way that things had been changed, although he admitted in an interview that the series was "not so bad."
