In Duncan the Wonder Dog, Adam Hines explores the fictional possibilities of a world where animals can not only talk but can debate the moral culpability of their treatment by humans. In a debut graphic novel full of intricate and symbolic visual detail and rich with moody gray-scale artwork, Hines depicts a world where humans and animals must debate and negotiate their relationships and where militant factions of animals rise up to confront humans with the brutal consequences of their treatment. Duncan the Wonder Dog will be published by AdHouse Books in early November.
