About the Dog Man Series

The Dog Man series is an amazing and heartwarming graphic novel collection by bestselling author and illustrator Dav Pilkey. Known for his humor, action and emotion, Pilkey brings to life the story of Dog Man — a lovable crime-fighter who is half-dog, half-man and all hero. What started as a fun spinoff from the Captain Underpants books has grown into a global phenomenon that has captured the hearts of millions of kids (and a few adults too!). With 13 books out so far — the latest being Dog Man: Big Jim Begins released in December 2024 — fans can’t get enough. And it doesn’t stop there. A 14th book Dog Man: Big Jim Believes is coming in November 2025. It’s not just laughs and silliness; it’s also about friendship, courage and second chances. Since it’s debut Dog Man has sold over 3.8 million copies making it one of the best selling comic book series today. But Dog Man’s world keeps growing! In 2020 we met the Cat Kid Comic Club a spinoff that follows the creative adventures of Li’l Petey and his friends. The story has also jumped off the page into the world of theater with two stage musicals, a video game (Dog Man: Mission Impawsible) and even a full length animated movie from DreamWorks. A sequel to the film is in development so Dog Man is here to stay — in our hearts, on our screens and definitely on our bookshelves.
