PORTLAND, Ore. 08/18/2026 — Prepare for an absurd, action-packed journey across the cosmos in the upcoming Battlepug: Cosmic Doggysseygraphic novel continuing Mike Norton’s Eisner and Harvey award-winning fantasy comedy. This trade paperback graphic novel from Image Comics will hit comic shop shelves next week and be available this September everywhere books are sold.
Battlepug: Cosmic Doggyssey delivers the perfect blend of sword and sorcery, humor, and heart. Picking up right where the Image series Battlepug: War on Christmas left off, the last Kindmundian and his oversized companion find themselves in dreamlike worlds of demented danger!
“This new book is my way opening up the Battlepug universe so that I can tell all kinds of stories besides the weird fantasy that it began as,” said Norton. “I mean, it’s still WEIRD, mind you… Only now I can do any genre I’ve ever dreamed of. That’s what Battlepug is… Just an excuse for me to draw everything I liked when I was growing up. It’s unfiltered weird kid energy!”
Battlepug: Cosmic Doggyssey trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534333864) will be available at local comic book shopson Wednesday, August 26 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, September 22.
