« Nature, red in tooth and claw » - Alfred Tennyson
En novembre, l’éditeur Image Comics publiera le premier numéro-double de Tooth & Claw, une nouvelle série d’Heroic-fantasy anthropomorphe supervisée par le scénariste Kurt Busiek (Astro City) et le dessinateur Ben Dewey.
Le lecteur suivra Dunstan, un jeune Bull Terrier qui rêve de devenir magicien comme son père, et l’unique humain et grand champion Dusty dans leur mystérieuse quête où ils rencontreront, sur leur chemin, la magicienne phacochère Gartha, Goodfoot le coyote, le peuple Bison, les Sep-Cicatrices ou encore Lord Talon.

[quote=« Kurt Busiek »]It’s about exotic civilizations, about wicker cities that float in the sky, about great ocean-going empires, about slavery, about pack-roaches, crystal badlands that coruscate with power, undersea nomads eternally marching across the ocean floor, decaying golems of nuclear fire, boarding schools that have become governments, the limits of magic, the persistence of technology, and the bonds of loyalty.
It’s…rococo. It’s complex and overstuffed, influenced as much by the ornate fantasy of Jack Vance as by the comics of Jack Kirby. I find myself realizing I’m using things I learned from writing « Conan » and « Astro City, » and things I learned from reading « Terry and the Pirates » and « Lord of the Rings. » It’s a high adventure series, but it’s also a character series, and a big honking science fiction/fantasy epic. Swords, sorcery, mystery, myth, the highest of high stakes and the drama of day-to-day survival.[/quote]
