As Incríveis Aventuras de DogMendonça e PizzaBoy

The series As Incríveis Aventuras de DogMendonça e PizzaBoy launched in 2010 from Portuguese publisher Tinta da China, chronicling the odd-couple exploits of a occultist dog and his young human sidekick. Though only a single issue was published in its initial run, the premise—a supernatural detective story with a talking canine lead—captured a distinct, whimsical voice in European comics. The title is most closely associated with its creators, who established a charmingly offbeat tone that resonated beyond its brief print life.
