Your Guide to the World of Furry Fandom
Found recently at a convention: Can I Pet Your Werewolf is a 2017 collection of black & white short comics, edited by Kel McDonald and Molly Muldoon. “A different take on those who get fluffy under a full moon. This is a collection of goofy, cute, and sweet werewolf stories.” There’s more than a little queer spin on several of the stories here too! Visit Kel’s web site to find out more.

Many years ago, the writer and artist Patrick Scullin got on the radar of many furry fans with his illustrated steampunk adventure Pandamonium: Death of a King. Well, it turns out he’s still around, teaching graphic arts at Riverside City College in California — and, still finding time to make comics, some of them definitely furry! Ninja Pig, for instance, goes like this: “In a land where loyalty is sacred and betrayal is death, a noble samurai’s life is cut short — not in war, but by the hand of a jealous brother-in-arms. But this warrior’s story doesn’t end with the blade. Through forbidden mystic arts, his soul survives — transferred into the body of the nearest living vessel: A humble, wallowing pig.” Then in a sillier vein, there’s Stray: Toaster Trouble. “The tale of a stray coyote and his band of misfit pets as they defend their suburban backyard with humor and heart from enemies foreign and domesticated.” Find both of these and more at the artist’s official web site.

Animals Rule This Land is the very odd and ambitious graphic novel from first-timer Luke Milton, available in hardcover from Black Panel Press. “The world has ended- you’re the only human left in a village full of erratic- freshly-evolved animals- and a maniacal rabbit in a vest is gifting you a blood-covered toaster. They say they want to be friends- so why are you constantly being drugged and threatened by henchmen- kidnapped and insulted by the dog next door- and falling prey to a seemingly friendly duck who’s running an unnecessarily complicated bread scam?” Check out the review and preview at Slings and Arrows.

We found a new (to us!) comic series from Dark Horse, one that claims to be “Hellboy meets Redwall“. William of Newbury was created by Michael Avon Oeming, who previously brought us the well-known Mice Templar series. Here’s what Dark Horse says: “Loosely based on real events in 12th century England during what was known as ‘The Anarchy’. A time where the country was beset with plague, civil war, and demons. William of Newbury is a neurotic monk, fearful of the earthly world, but confident and unwavering in the face of true evil. He fights the dead to restore peace, but his brother is intent on stopping him, fearing for his soul. Newbury is dark, yet quaint, deadly yet cute. Follow him as he negotiates with thieves, evades his brother and the church, and battles the undead and evil spirits.” Issues 1 through 4 are now together in a trade paperback.

Another one lost in the shuffle, but definitely worth a look. Kiva is a one-shot full-color comic from Scout, written by Motoki Tomatsu and Yumiko Fujiwara, with art by Bashar Ahmed. “A pet dog is left behind on his own when a nuclear disaster forces the residents of a small town to evacuate. As he navigates the wilderness that takes over the town, he comes face to face with a savage pack of wild dogs, determined to claim back their territory.” In an interview over at Comic Book Club, the creators talk about their inspiration for the work.

So how did we miss this one? Let’s catch up! Cissy is a full-color creepy comic book series written by Charles Chester and illustrated by Alonso Gonzales. Eleven year-old Gabriel is awakened in the middle of the night — by his sister Maddy’s teddy bear Cissy, who can talk! Despite Cissy’s best efforts, a sinister and powerful being known as The Crying Man has stolen away Maddy and taken her to a frightening realm known as The Dark Lands. Now Cissy needs Gabriel’s help to mount a rescue mission! Issues are still available at Scout Comics.

This has been around a while — time we got to it. Between Snow and Wolf is a full-color graphic novel written by Agnes Domergue and illustrated by Helen Canac. “What secret is hidden in the heart of the forest? Lila lives with her father on a snowy island. From a young age, he has protected her from a curse and a demon. One day when he is away for a longer period of time, Lila imagines him already a prisoner and decides to go looking for him. She then discovers a forest asleep under the snow, populated by enigmatic spirits and a white wolf.” The inspiration of Hayao Miyazaki is quite obvious here — and the comparison is welcome. This is still available in hardcover from Magnetic Press.

At Lightbox Expo this year we met Kyky Yang, an animation artist and designer from Taiwan who’s living in Los Angeles now.

Follow the adventures of British cat detective Alice and her maid Amaryllis. Visit the official web site — or check out the intro video on YouTube.
