Garfield His 9 Lives

Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield, expands the lasagna-loving cat’s world in this 1984 one-shot from Random House. Instead of a single story, the comic presents nine distinct, self-contained tales exploring different possible lives for Garfield—from prehistoric times to a futuristic existence. Each chapter is drawn by a different artist, giving the book a unique anthology feel within the long-running franchise. It’s a clever, experimental detour that shows the creative range possible with a beloved character.
