Trypto the Acid Dog - Paperback

by Miguel Ferrer (Author), Steve Leialoha (Illustrator), Bill Mumy (Author)

What do you get when two well-respected actors and long-time musical collaborators team up with an Eisner Award-winning artist to chronicle the life of a dog of vengeance? You get something odd, something edgy, something unique. You get Trypto, the Acid Dog. Born of water, born of fire, born of blood, born of acid, Trypto is unlike other dogs. In this series of offbeat tales, the canine avenger fights against those who would abuse Mother Earth and her creatures. Produced over the course of a decade, the complete run of Trypto stories is brought together for the first time in this 25th anniversary collection.

Author Biography

Co-writer Bill Mumy is most recognized for his work as an actor, for roles in such favorites as Lost in Space, The Twilight Zone, and Babylon 5. As a musician, he has had success both as a solo performer and as a member of Barnes & Barnes. As a writer, he has worked in prose, in TV (as co-creator of Space Cases), and comic books. Co-writer Miguel Ferrer's acting has gained him attention through playing villains in such big screen works as RoboCop and Mulan and playing hard-working but beleaguered characters on the small screen in Crossing Jordan and Twin Peaks. With Mumy, he co-wrote the Marvel comics miniseries Comet Man and the graphic novel The Dreamwalker. Artist Steve Leialoha is not known for his acting, but they let him make comics anyway. In fact, they've given him multiple Eisner Awards for doing so. His work has been a strong presence ranging from the 1980s Spider-Woman to the recent hit Fables.
