Nothing is exactly the same, but how about The Goon, The Tick or
Hellboy? All slightly different of the scale of black
humor/quirkiness/gothic horror (but sort of in the same ballpark :)).
Here's Gilbert description of the comic in an interview with newsarama:
Nrama: Michael, from the preview art, Doc Stearn...Mr. Monster almost
seems like a 50's horror sci-fi B-movie mixed with the Jekyll and Hyde
story. How close is that assumption?
Gilbert: That's one way of looking at it. I think more in comic book
terms, with Doc Stearn...Mr. Monster being a mash-up between the old EC
horror comics and Will Eisner's The Spirit. Maybe with a little Doc
Savage thrown into the mix.
