Synopsis

Collecting the complete Sweet Tooth series in one volume, this compendium follows Gus, a gentle deer-hybrid child born after an inexplicable plague began producing human-animal hybrids worldwide. When his father dies, Gus is forced out of the sheltered life he knew and into a broken, often violent world that has no framework for understanding children like him.

Jeff Lemire blends Bambi's innocence with the bleak survivalism of The Road, following Gus's journey as both a coming-of-age story and a meditation on what's left of humanity after civilization collapses.
