☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis deluxe hardcover collects the first 12 issues of Jeff Lemire's acclaimed post-apocalyptic series Sweet Tooth, along with the original series debut issue from DC's Vertigo imprint. The story follows Gus, a young boy with deer-like antlers, as he navigates a ravaged world alongside the hardened hunter Jepperd, exploring themes of survival, humanity, and hope. This edition features restored coloring, bonus material, and a new cover by Lemire, offering a definitive presentation of the opening arc of this Eisner Award-nominated saga.
"Out of the Deep Woods, Part One" kicks off Jeff Lemire’s haunting, beautifully drawn exploration of loss and survival in a fractured world. As Jepperd grapples with grief and the remnants of a collapsing society, memories of his journey with his wife surface, shadowed by the looming fate of the last animal children. With Jeff Lemire handling every aspect of the interior art and José Villarrubia’s evocative coloring, this deluxe edition captures a story steeped in melancholy and quiet dread. The cover, by Lemire, sets the tone with its stark, poignant imagery.
Gus, a young human-deer hybrid, has lived in quiet isolation with his father in the deep woods, shielded from the world beyond. After his father’s death, Gus must confront the fears he was raised to avoid and venture into the unknown, guided only by memories and a longing to understand what lies beyond the trees.
After burying his wife’s bones, Tom Jepperd retreats into drink, haunted by memories of their journey through a collapsing world. Meanwhile, Dr. Singh and the scientists prepare to dissect Sweet Tooth and the last of the animal children, unaware of what the past might still demand of them.
