About this Collection

This collection brings together Harlan Ellison's classic post-apocalyptic tale "A Boy and His Dog" and its related stories, adapted into comics form by Richard Corben. Originally serialized in the 1970s underground comix scene, the volume follows the brutal adventures of Vic and his telepathic canine companion, Blood, as they scavenge a desolate future America. NBM's 1989 edition compiles these gritty, Eisner-nominated adaptations into a single hardcover or trade paperback volume.

In "Eggsucker," Harlan Ellison returns to the post-apocalyptic world of his iconic story with a tale that follows Jo, a young survivor, and his fiercely loyal dog Blood as they navigate a desolate landscape teeming with strange dangers. Richard Corben’s unmistakable art—pencils, inks, and colors all by him—brings the grotesque and surreal terrain to life in vivid, unsettling detail, while Diane Valentino’s lettering grounds the story in its gritty, raw tone.
