Sweet Tooth #1
This volume collects the first story arc of Jeff Lemire's acclaimed post-apocalyptic series, following Gus, a young boy with deer-like antlers, as he navigates a world ravaged by a deadly plague. The collection introduces the hybrid children born after the catastrophe and the dangerous forces that pursue them, setting the stage for a haunting tale of survival and humanity.
In "Out of the Deep Woods, Part One," Jeff Lemire delivers a haunting, character-driven start to a new chapter in the Sweet Tooth saga, weaving together grief and memory with the quiet dread of a world still unraveling. As Jepperd grapples with loss and the weight of the past, flashbacks reveal the fragile bond he once shared with his wife amid the collapse of civilization, while unseen forces prepare to dissect the last of the animal children. With Jeff Lemire handling every aspect of the interior art and José Villarrubia’s evocative colors grounding the story, the issue unfolds with a somber, atmospheric intensity. The cover, also by Lemire, captures the melancholy and isolation at the heart of this tale.
In "Out of the Deep Woods, Part One," Gus, a young human-deer hybrid, must leave the safety of the woods after his father’s death, despite the warnings he was raised on. With only the memory of his father’s teachings and the uncertain promise of a world beyond the trees, Gus sets out on a journey that will test everything he’s ever known.
After burying his wife’s bones, Tom Jepperd retreats into drink, haunted by memories of their journey through a collapsing world. Meanwhile, Dr. Singh and the scientists prepare to dissect Sweet Tooth and the last of the animal children, as the weight of their choices presses down on all involved.
