Dog Man #12

The twelfth volume in Dav Pilkey's beloved Dog Man series arrives in 2025 with The Scarlet Shedder, and the cover sets an energetic tone right away — two red-caped figures, one canine and one feline, strike heroic poses against a stormy night sky, bone and lightning at the ready. Pilkey's bold, expressive linework (he handles both pencils and inks here) gives the duo a wonderfully dynamic presence atop what appears to be a rooftop or vehicle, city silhouetted behind them. It's the kind of cover that has young readers reaching for it immediately.
