Summary

Now a Netflix Original Series!

In the tradition of The Road and The Stand , Eisner Award-nominated writer-artist Jeff Lemire (THE NOBODY, Essex County ) presents a bold new postapocalyptic vision of the fate of humankind, the values of innocence, and the unexpected friendships that can emerge in even the darkest of places with SWEET TOOTH BOOK ONE.

Seven years ago, the Affliction raged like a forest fire, killing billions. The only children born since are part of a new breed of human-animal hybrids. Gus is one of these children- a boy with a sweet soul, a sweeter tooth-and the features of a deer.

But kids like Gus have a price on their heads. When vicious hunters descend on his isolated forest home, a mysterious and violent man called Jepperd rescues Gus. The hulking drifter promises to lead Gus to the Preserve, a fabled safe haven for hybrid children.

As the two cross this dangerous new American frontier, will Jepperd corrupt the boy he's nicknamed "Sweet Tooth," or will Gus' heart change Jepperd?

Collects SWEET TOOTH #1-12, as well as character sketches, cover sketches, and an introduction by celebrated actor Michael Sheen ( Masters of Sex , Frost/Nixon ).
