Review by C.J. Bunce
It’s marketed as “Lady and the Tramp meets Silence of the Lambs,” which is pretty unsettling to begin with. It certainly looks like Disney’s 101 Dalmations. The first issue of the new five-part monthly comic, Stray Dogs, offers a touching introduction about a little dog named Sophie who is rescued into a house of a dozen dogs. She’s taken under the care of a dog named Rusty, but soon remembers the circumstances of leaving her past home–the new human in charge might be a murderer. It’s the stuff of high drama carefully revealed and beautifully illustrated. And damned creepy. One more thing: Paramount Animation has already apparently bought the film rights.
Check out a preview of the first issue of Stray Dogs below.
