Synopses & Reviews
"World War IV broke out on American Independence Day, 4 July 1995. Then what was left belonged to anybody who wanted it; anybody with a taste for radiation and rubble. The 'good folks' sank their caisson cities, their sterile down-unders, deep in the earth. And the snaggle-toothed remnants of the aboveground were abandoned to the new masters of desolation: vicious roverpaks of parentless young boys...and their telepathic dogs."
From the History of the World, as Blood tells it
The acclaimed series of short stories around the adventures of Vic and his telepathic dog, Blood, by Harlan Ellison is brought together as one stunning graphic novel by Richard Corben, one of today's leading fantasy artists.

After winning a Nebula Award for Best Novella, "A Boy and His Dog" was made into a movie starring Don Johnson and Jason Robards, which itself won a Hugo.
In addition to the graphic novel adaptations of "A Boy and His Dog," "Eggsucker" and "Run, Spot, Run," this volume contains the original short stories by Ellison.
Features never-before-published sketchbook material from Richard Corben, critically-acclaimed artist for Heavy Metal magazine, Hellblazer (DC Comics), and The Incredible Hulk (Marvel Comics).
