“What the Cat Dragged In”
🏆 Best Single Issue/One-Shot (2017)

In "What the Cat Dragged In," Dymphna enlists Orphan, the Getaway Kid, and a clever raccoon named Hoke to break into her former owners' home, a place steeped in secrets and sorrow. With Jill Thompson's expressive art and a story co-written by Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer, this emotionally charged issue unfolds as past sins and hidden magic collide, leading to a haunting confrontation with the Eater of Dreams—its fate sealed in a house that refuses to let go. The cover by Jill Thompson captures the eerie stillness of the moment, perfectly framing the story’s quiet dread.
