This eight-time Eisner Award-winning comic book series blending fantasy, horror, and humor features the adventures of paranormal pets investigating the horrors of Burden Hill.
When supernatural events threaten the quiet suburb of Burden Hill, it's up to a determined group of ordinary dogs and cats to defend their home from demonic frogs, zombie roadkill and a rat cabal led by a dead mystic with an insatiable appetite for blood. This edition collects all four volumes of the eight-time Eisner award-winning horror fantasy series, including both Wise Dog adventure tie-in stories and a special guest appearance by Hellboy!
Award-winning comics creators Evan Dorkin (Milk & Cheese), Jill Thompson (The Sandman), and Ben Dewey (The Autumnlands) come together to share the lives of some unlikely heroes.
This volume collects the comic-book series Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites, Occupied Territory, Neighborhood Watch, and Wise Dogs and Eldrich Men, published by Dark Horse Comics.
