Noted fantasy and science fiction writer Ellison and Corben form an ideally matched team in this forceful adaptation of Ellison's novella A Boy and His Dog. Vic and his telepathic dog, Blood, struggle to endure in the aftermath of nuclear war. But when Blood sniffs out Quilla June -- a girl who has come disguised as a boy to the womanless nuclear wasteland from an underground world (to which the population has fled from destruction) -- Vic discovers love while Blood sees his own survival threatened. Quilla June's haunting question, "Do you know what love is?," envelops the ending in a poignant irony as Vic must choose to save the life of one -- Quilla June or Blood -- at the expense of the other.
The acclaimed series of short stories around the adventures of Vic and his telepathic dog, Blood, by Harlan Ellison is brought together as one stunning graphic novel by Richard Corben, one of today's leading fantasy artists. This conjugation of talents forms a powerful saga of love, death, and the consequences of both in a devastated society.
In addition, this volume contains the original short stories by Ellison, and features never-before-published sketchbook material from Richard Corben.« less
