Beneath this shiny exterior, Burden Hill harbors dark and sinister secrets, and it’s up to a heroic gang of dogs \u0026amp;mdash; and one cat \u0026amp;mdash; to protect the town from the evil forces at work. These are the Beasts of Burden Hill \u0026amp;mdash; Pugs, Ace, Jack, Whitey, Red and the Orphan \u0026amp;mdash; whose early experiences with the paranormal (including a haunted doghouse, a witches’ coven, and a pack of canine zombies) have led them to become members of the Wise Dog Society, official animal agents sworn to protect their town from evil. This turns out to be no easy task, as they soon encounter demonic cannibal frogs, tortured spirits, a secret rat society, and a bizarre and deadly resurrection in the Burden Hill cemetery \u0026amp;mdash; events which lead to fear and heartbreak as our four-legged heroes discover that the evil within Burden Hill is growing and on the move. Can our heroes overcome these supernatural menaces? Can evil be bested by a paranormal team that doesn’t have hands? And even more importantly, will Pugs ever shut the hell up?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdventure, mystery, horror, and humor thrive on every page of\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBeasts of Burden\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u0026amp;mdash; a comic-book series that will capture readers’ hearts and haunt their dreams.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAward-winning comics creators Evan Dorkin (\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMilk and Cheese\u003c\/em\u003e) and Jill Thompson (\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScary Godmother\u003c\/em\u003e) first introduced these very special investigators in \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Dark Horse Book of Hauntings\u003c\/em\u003e and the other \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDark Horse Book of\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e. . . anthologies, for which they won coveted Eisner Awards for Best Short Story and Best Painter.
