About this ebook

This eight-time Eisner Award-winning comic book series blending fantasy, horror, and humor features the adventures of paranormal pets investigating the horrors of Burden Hill.

When supernatural events threaten the quiet suburb of Burden Hill, it's up to a determined group of ordinary dogs and cats to defend their home from demonic frogs, zombie roadkill and a rat cabal led by a dead mystic with an insatiable appetite for blood. This edition collects all four volumes of the eight-time Eisner award-winning horror fantasy series, including both Wise Dog adventure tie-in stories and a special guest appearance by Hellboy!

Award-winning comics creators Evan Dorkin (Milk & Cheese), Jill Thompson (The Sandman), and Ben Dewey (The Autumnlands) come together to share the lives of some unlikely heroes.

This volume collects the comic-book series Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites, Occupied Territory, Neighborhood Watch, and Wise Dogs and Eldrich Men, published by Dark Horse Comics.

About the author

Evan Dorkin is an American comics artist and writer. His most well-known works are the comic books Milk and Cheese and Dork. His comics often poke fun at fandom, even while making it clear that Dorkin is a fan himself. As well as his comics work, Dorkin has also written for animation, including (with his wife Sarah Dyer, also a comics writer/artist) Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. He also wrote and produced Bring me the Head of Boba Fett, an animated television pilot for Adult Swim called Welcome to Eltingville, based on his own characters. Dorkin and Dyer also wrote some episodes of the Superman animated series, particularly the episode "Live Wire," which introduced a new character of the same name. Additionally, the pair contributed to the script of the 2006 English-language version of the anime Shin Chan. After an initial six-episode order proved successful, more episodes were ordered, but Dorkin and Dyer are no longer working on the series. Dorkin has been the recipient of several Eisner Awards, including 2002's Best Writer/Artist: Humor.
