This time around, the Dog City team is focused on COLLABORATION. Each of the seven works collected here is the result of a free for all process of collaboration between two creators. Anything goes, and anything does in this 100+ page, B & W, perfect bound anthology, as the work takes unexpected twists and turns. Collaboration with another enables a creator to break out of their own familiar terrain and discover -- and, crucially, explore -- a new world. Join in the discovery, in Dog City #4!

Starting now and then moving through the next two decades, Luke Healy's latest provides a speculative look at his cartoon-double navigating the changing geographical and personal landscapes as global climate change leads to rising sea levels, further contagion and more not-quite-dystopian future potentialities. "Luke Healy" travels through these altered physical landscapes while simultaneously grappling with his equally transformed psychic landscapes, and working to figure out life and what it's all about, while maintaining his sense of humor in this 326 page graphic novel printed in a tri-tone palette consisting of black & white line art with a pastel red and blue color scheme.

The Pacific Crest Trail runs 2660 miles, from California's border with Mexico to Washington's border with Canada. To walk it is to undertake a grueling test of body and spirit. In Americana, cartoonist Luke Healy accepts the challenge.
This intimate, engaging autobiographical work from an Irish visitor to the United States recounts the author's own attempt to walk the length of the USA's west coast. Healy's life-changing journey weaves in and out of often humorous reflections on his experiences in America and his development as an artist, navigating both the trail itself and the unique culture of the people who attempt to complete it.
Here's a brief interview with Healy on the publisher's site.
