Sweet Tooth - Mlsoun 1 – Lemire Jeff (2021)

A Boy and a Behemoth Seven years ago, an infection spread like wildfire and killed billions of people. The only children born since then belong to a new race of hybrids between humans and animals. One of them is Gus, a sweet boy with a penchant for snacking and deer-like features. However, there is a bounty on children like Gus. When cruel hunters appear in his remote forest home, a mysterious brute named Jepperd saves Gus. The hulking drifter promises to take him to a sanctuary, a mythical safe haven for hybrid children. How will their journey through the new and dangerous American frontier turn out: will Jepperd corrupt the boy he nicknames 'Snacker,' or will Gus manage to change him through his heart? SNACKER, with a script and artwork by the immensely talented Jeff Lemire, is a thrilling tale of survival in post-apocalyptic America – about friendships forged under tragic circumstances and the nature of human good and evil. The first of three hardcover volumes contains the original Sweet Tooth issues #1–12, along with previously unpublished sketches and a foreword by renowned actor Michael Sheen (The Affair, Frost/Nixon).
