First appearing as one-shot short stories inside the Dark Horse anthologies of Hauntings, Witchcraft, the Dead, and Monsters (all collected her) Beasts of Burden tells the supernatural adventures of several pet dogs and a pesky stray cat. Dealing with dark scary things like werewolves, hauntings and black magic covens but told with a lightness of touch that makes it feel like a children's tv show Beasts of Burden is a comic that will delight the young and old alike. With fully painted art that sparkles with the same energy and mischief as it's four-legged heroes - this comic will have you purring in delight and barking with joy.
