Buster Wilde returns to the web in glorious hi-def - and the book is available for pre-order!
At the turn of the century, seemingly from nowhere, there emerged a fantastic webcomic about an outrageous gay werewolf (sorry, weerwolf) called Buster Wilde, written and drawn by the enigmatic artist Scot Zellman.
A homophobic and thoroughly dour salaryman by day and a fabulous creature of the night by, well, night.
For over a decade, those strips, in grainy little GIFs as per the state of the web when they were posted, thrilled new readers and gave greymuzzles something to talk about at parties.
"Do you remember Mutant Malibu Bob?" We'd chuckle and nod.
Nod no more, my friends.
Bad Dog Books is proud to bring Buster to print, and then some.
All the strips have been digitally re-mastered, carefully scanned from the massive originals in artist Scot Zellman's secret vault, digitally polished up and prepared for print.
All Buster's antics are back from beyond, and to seal the deal we've included over fifty pages of sketches and notes from the artist's archives, giving glimpses of the development of the strip and its characters. Not to be missed.
PRE-ORDER NOW. RIGHT NOW.
And to celebrate Buster's return (in glorious hi-def), the web strips are being reissued. The first eight strips are up, and there'll be another added to the website every day. Visit baddogbooks.com/busterwilde!

I can't tell you how stupendously excited I am about this, I really can't. Bringing Buster back from the murky mists of Intenet history has been a secret goal of mine since I started Bad Dog Books, and six years later, it gives me immense pride to bring Scot's fantastic work to print and the web in all its glory.
Enjoy!
