Animal Pound

  • Tom King



An Orwellian masterpiece for the modern age, an Animal Farm for the 21st century, by legendary comics scribe Tom King and Eisner Award-nominated artist Peter Gross, collaborating for the first time ever.

When animals grow tired of being caged and abused, it’s only a matter of time before they have nothing to lose but their cages...

When an uprising puts a pound in control of the animals, they make quick comrades, united against everything that walks on two legs. But with this newfound power comes a sudden challenge: how best to lay the groundwork for this new democracy as they write their first constitution.

The conditions are ripe for a dictator, primed for instating a new system of brutality and death. When two groups of animals work together will their efforts be enough to prevent further animal authoritarianism?

Discover a timely graphic storytelling event from celebrated New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning writer Tom King (The Human Target, Love Everlasting) and New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-nominated artist Peter Gross (American Jesus, The Books of Magic), collaborating for the first time ever to bring this enduring Orwellian allegory to life for the 21st Century.
