Bêtes de somme #1

The French edition of Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson's celebrated animal horror collaboration arrives with this Delcourt release, subtitled Mal de Chiens. Jill Thompson's cover painting is immediately arresting: a pack of dogs — shepherd, beagle, cat, and others — stand alert on a rocky outcrop surrounded by scattered bones, while a ghostly deer-like spirit looms in the dark, mist-shrouded trees behind them. It's a beautifully painted, quietly unsettling image that sets an atmospheric tone blending the warmth of beloved pets with something genuinely eerie lurking just beyond the light.
