Customer Reviews
Damn, Cats and Kittens! This book is fabulous! It’s got the perfect blend of humor and tragedy. Dorkin’s script pulls you into a story where you genuinely care about the characters. Thompson’s art forces your eyes to linger over every panel, every page to soak in all that goodness. Plus, it’s about dogs (and a cat) who combat supernatural evils. How can you say no to such an adorable concept? You can’t. Buy this book immediately. You will not be sorry.
