Dog Man

Dav Pilkey's wildly popular, full-color comic series Dog Man (2017–present, Scholastic) follows the adventures of a canine-headed police officer, born from a botched surgery that fuses a brave dog and his human partner. Pilkey, the series' sole creator, writes and illustrates these irreverent, action-packed stories that blend slapstick humor with heartfelt lessons about empathy and friendship. Spanning 13 issues and counting, the series has become a modern children's publishing phenomenon, captivating young readers with its playful art, inventive wordplay, and a cast of memorable characters like the villainous Petey the cat.
