Animal Pound Series

What happens when dogs become too powerful, changing the rules in their favor, and systematically consuming every non-dog in sight? As some animals do what they think they must to survive, democracy is more at stake than ever, and it may not survive. Will anyone?

Piggy the dog reigns in a dictatorial role, instating a system of brutality and death, a meatgrinder of hierarchy that there is no escape from. When two groups of animals work together to try and put a stop to this, will their efforts be enough to prevent Piggy’s third term?

As freedom and democracy flourish, the animals work together to set up a steady stream of donations for the pound, and all seems well for a time. However, tensions build as the fairness of the current system is called into question, and when Piggy the dog decides to run for election, he does something unthinkable that shocks all of the animals to their core…

The groundbreaking graphic storytelling event series continues as the animals find themselves faced with a new challenge: freedom. With food supplies dwindling, the animals must decide quickly how best to organize their burgeoning society and make decisions as a group… or risk losing everything. Eisner Award-winning writer Tom King (The Human Target, Love Everlasting) and New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-nominated artist Peter Gross (American Jesus, The Books of Magic) continue their collaboration on a series that critics are already calling a classic in the making.

When animals living in an oppressive pound have nothing to lose but their cages, it won’t be long before revolution ensues. One of the most critically acclaimed titles of 2023 returns to print as a special Pen & Ink edition, providing a more intimate look at this Animal Farm for the modern age with behind-the-scenes commentary from artist Peter Gross (Lucifer, American Jesus).

When animals grow tired of being caged, killed, and sold off—it’s only a matter of time before they’ve had enough… When an uprising puts a pound in control of the animals, they quickly find themselves as comrades, united against everything that walks on two legs.

Discover an epic graphic storytelling event from celebrated New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning writer Tom King (The Human Target, Love Everlasting) and New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-nominated artist Peter Gross (American Jesus, The Books of Magic).
