Book Summary
Doggy Bags 5 is the fifth installment of a comic anthology that combines violence, action, and dark humor. On this occasion, the reader will find three independent stories that explore horror and survival from unique perspectives. From a giant albino crocodile terrorizing Miami to an ex-soldier digging up a deadly secret in his garden, to a post-apocalyptic amusement park where one can hunt zombies. This volume offers an intense narrative experience, with a carefully curated selection of authors and a graphic style that shows no mercy.
What is it about?
The volume brings together three independent graphic stories, each with its own tone and focus within the horror and action genre. In "Trapped," a giant albino crocodile emerges from the Miami sewers to unleash a reign of blood and destruction, narrated in the style of the best disaster stories. In "Rampage," the story follows Shawn Nelson, a former soldier addicted to methadone who, after detoxing, discovers that the pits he has dug in his San Diego backyard hide something much more sinister than dragons or gold. Finally, "Death of a Nation" proposes an unconventional amusement park where visitors can shoot anyone infected with a zombie virus, offering a violent and lighthearted satire of post-apocalyptic entertainment.
