Steve Lafler’s Cat Head Comics will launch Dog Boy Choice Cuts & Happy Endingsgathering comics from Lafler’s 1980s Dog Boy comics, in July. Introduced in Guts #3 in 1982, dispersed by 2 positive suppliers that Lafler mentions in the volume (Ron Turner of Last Gasp and Milton Griepp of Capital City Distribution), the character went on to star in his own comics. Dog Boy #1, released in March 1983, was likewise gotten by Dave Scroggy of Pacific Comics and quickly Lafler had broad circulation throughout the Direct Market serving comic shops, along with the head stores and record shops serviced by Last Gasp. Dog Boy was later on released by Fantagraphics.
Meshing affects from Jack Kirby to underground comics, and “marked by a shattering ego-death experience behind psilocybin on the cusp of adulthood,” Lafler’s Dog Boy comics star “an unruly man-child equipped with a Golden Retriever head.”
The magazine-format comics will be gathered in a 328-page 8-1/2” x 11” trade paperback, with b/w interior, at $36.99. The brand-new volume will be dispersed by Diamond Comic Distributors, Lunar Distribution, and Ingram, with a July 2023 release date.
