Description
When an uprising puts a pound in control of the animals, they make quick comrades, united against everything that walks on two legs. But with this newfound power comes a sudden challenge: how best to lay the groundwork for this new democracy as they write their first constitution.
The conditions are ripe for a dictator, primed for instating a new system of brutality and death. When two groups of animals work together will their efforts be enough to prevent further animal authoritarianism?
Discover a timely graphic storytelling event from celebrated New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning writer Tom King (The Human Target, Love Everlasting) and New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-nominated artist Peter Gross (American Jesus, The Books of Magic), collaborating for the first time ever to bring this enduring Orwellian allegory to life for the 21st Century.

Advance Praise
“The ideas that King explores are sadly more relevant than ever... Animal Pound is up there with Tom King’s most thought-provoking work, updating the Orwellian animal allegory to tell a fable that is frighteningly relevant to our current times” –AIPT
“It's brilliant, heart-wrenching, adrenaline-pulsing, and revolutionary.” –Monkeys Fighting Robots
“A fantastic reimagining of George Orwells Animal Farm, highlighting the power struggles that would exist between members of a society after their shared oppressors are removed from the equation.” –Comic Watch
“Gross delivers some beautiful art in the issue. The visuals are filled with great details and wonderful compositions.” –The Super Powered Fancast
“Animal Pound is a good reimagining of a classic, that feels unique to itself, without straying so far from the source material. It also features superb and subtle art that enhances every element of this story.” –Major Spoilers
