The
epic tale of blood and drool begins here! Keeping the tradition of its
creator-owned mentality, Dark Horse Comics is pleased to announce its
newest venture with Mike Norton—Battlepug!
“I was really happy when people first reacted to the comic. It’s hard to predict if the public needs another
‘Giant Pug Epic Fantasy’ story. I mean, we all know those are a dime a
dozen, right? Luckily, the story of a barbarian’s quest for revenge with
the aid of our favorite four-legged freak seems to have legs,” said
Norton. “When I first made the Battlepug T-shirt, people kept asking
when the comic was coming out. So, I put out the webcomic and now
everybody wants to know when the book is coming out! I guess now people
will want to know when the movie is happening?”
This volume collects the first year of Mike Norton’s Battlepug—the perfect opportunity to get in on the ground floor of the fan-favorite webcomic by Mike Norton, Allen Passalaqua, and Crank!
Join Moll and her dogs Mingo and Colfax, as she recounts
the legend of “The Warrior and the Battlepug”—a tale of a fearless
barbarian, his trusty and freakishly large pug, and evil baby harp
seals.
“I’m a huge fan of Dark Horse and couldn’t be more excited to have Battlepug published by them. Hellboy, B.P.R.D., Buffy, Star Wars—they
put out some of the best comics currently being made and it’s humbling
to even be on the same shelf with that kind of product! I’m super
excited for people to read it and look forward to much more in the
future!” stated Norton.
Mike Norton’s Battlepug Volume 1 is on sale July 4, 2012!
