Stargazing Dog

A quiet, contemplative comic originally serialized in Japan and collected by NBM, Stargazing Dog (2011–present) follows a stray dog’s journey through a post-apocalyptic landscape, told from the animal’s perspective. Written by Atsuko Saisho and Spencer Fancutt, the single-issue story is a poignant meditation on loyalty, solitude, and the bonds between humans and animals in a world that has lost its way. Its emotional resonance and minimalist storytelling have made it a standout example of how comics can explore profound themes through a simple, heartfelt lens.
