Dead Dog's Bite

In Dead Dog's Bite (2021–present, Dark Horse), writer and artist Tyler Boss crafts a moody, small-town mystery following two best friends whose search for a missing girl unravels secrets buried in their rust-belt community. Boss's singular, atmospheric art and taut storytelling define this four-issue series, which channels the quiet dread and heart of classic crime comics. It matters as a tight, creator-driven noir that proves how much tension and character can fit in a limited run.
