Looking for America’s Dog #[nn]

Steven Weissman's Looking for America's Dog arrives from Fantagraphics in 2016 as a distinctive, handsomely produced volume — its deep red cover embossed in warm gold, showing a scrappy cartoon cat perched atop a globe, surrounded by a trail of small paw prints. The restrained, almost ceremonial design gives the whole package an understated confidence that feels genuinely special. Weissman handles both pencils and inks throughout, and this cover alone signals the kind of singular, carefully crafted vision waiting inside.
