"Writer and artist Jeff Lemire has created the new 'must read' book with SWEET TOOTH."— GEOFF JOHNS

"Spellbinding and offbeat . . . emotionally charged." — USA TODAY "

"A grabber from the get-go..."— THE ONION

The first five issues of Jeff Lemire's acclaimed new series introduce Gus, a rare new breed of human/animal hybrid who was raised in isolation following a pandemic that struck a decade earlier. Now, with the death of his father, he's left to fend for himself . . . until he meets a hulking drifter named Jepperd, who promises to help him. Jepperd and Gus set out on a post-apocalyptic journey into the devastated American landscape to find 'The Preserve,' a refuge for hybrids.

SWEET TOOTH by EMI LENNOX!

Here's a great new rendition of Gus by Portland cartoonist Emi Lennox.

I've talked about how much I like Emi's work before, and right now she's getting ready to put together her first mini-comics, and needs your help. Emi is taking donations on her blog to help with the costs of printing her first books, so go help a rising comics talent get her start!

She will do a sketch f0r anyone who donates $5 or more!
