Book Description

Publication Date: 4 Mar 2010 | Series: Dfc Library

Kirk Bergman and Duncan McBoo are pedigree police: the finest canine cops in all Muttropolis. And they're never short of work. The city is heaving with cunning crooks and malevolent mongrels who would sell their own mother for a bone.

Join our dog detectives as they chase leads, sniff out crime, collar the bad guys and generally get their teeth into adventures full of action, suspense and . . . milkshakes.

Criminals beware: McBoo and Bergman are on your tail!

Review

"Definitely First-Class" (Paul Gravett 20100223)

"It is a brilliant homage to the classic noir detective movies, and pretty much every cop buddy movie going and is laced throughout with snappy dialogue and one-liners that will make you laugh out loud" (Book Zone for Boys 20100304)

"Sequential narrative (comic book panels to you and me) can offer more visual possibilities than straightforward writing and Dave Shelton makes full use of the form . . . This hairy whodunnit will thrill children from 5-99. Go fetch!" (Emma Byrne Inis 20100901)

"The plots are goofy, the laughs are there and writer/artist Dave Shelton has got more expression out of his characters than I thought possible. Let's hope we see more of the Muttropolis duo in the future" (Bear Alley 20100308)

"A hilarious noir detective romp . . . Full of slapstick visual gags and great wordplay, you'll soon develop a soft spot for these two lovable detectives" (Daniel Hahn The Ultimate Book Guide 20100531)

Book Description

4.0 out of 5 stars Pedigree children's comic book - a great read 25 April 2010
By P. Bastow
Format:Hardcover
A collection of stories about a 'Good Cop' and a 'Bad Cop' - its basically a cop story set in a dog world - brilliantly done. It was originally published in The Guardian so it comes with a pedigree - pun intended. The artwork in this book is stunning. But you instantly expect that with any book/comic with a 'DFC' tag. The artwork brilliantly captures the slapstick nature of comedy al la 'Laurel and Hardy' and there are some great film noir references that your kids may not get but you will.
This book is now very popular in my son's year 6 (10-11) class. Its a funny, clever, very artistic comic book that will appeal to childrens of say 5 upwards - there's real depth in the writing and the artwork so the older you are the more gags you will appreciate. Apparently book 2 is in gestation so please tell all your freinds and pass the word around so that we can be sure to see a book 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars The longest memory meets sam n' max's brother in law 1 April 2010
By P. Weston
Format:Hardcover
And out of the Guardian the dogs did ride.

Afraid of newspapers? Can't read comics unless they're shackled by a cover? Well let your fears be flung from a window on high, as the fine ol' pups of Mr Sheltons head have left their papery confines to rest happily in this lovely A4 slice of hardback fun (though still in a papery confine incase you think this to be printed on slender leather). A great treat for kiddies of all ages, especially if a good ye olde noir detective biscuit is what you yearn. Told with a great sense of humour and with beautiful art through out, you'll happily do the flat foot waltz for many a page. Highly worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best two dog cop book ever. 26 Nov 2010
By AshleyFairway
Format:Hardcover
Good Dog Bad Dog reminds me of my youth. I remember comics from when I was a kid, many years ago. Myself, my brothers and my Dad all used to, "discuss," who would get to read the various publications first. That was back when we bought comics to read because of the stories and the pictures, and not for the free plastic toy on the front cover. The story is brilliantly told, wonderfully illustrated and like the comics from my past, is enjoyable for both Dads and their sons. It also has dog detectives driving cars and wearing disguises. What's not to like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Dog, Bad Dog, Great book... 10 April 2010
By Martin
Format:Hardcover
Fantastic artwork, great (and amusingly bad) gags and two great characters in McBoo and Bergman, 'Good Dog, Bad Dog' is worth buying for both the kids and yourself. Or buy one for the kids and then swipe it off of their shelves for a read.
It's a great quality book which showcases the excellent art and colouring, it's a fine example of just how talented a bunch the guys at the sadly defunct DFC are - and luckily for us we now get these great quality volumes. Roll on Book 2...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value 9 April 2010
By S. Davies
Format:Hardcover
This collection of Good Dog Bad Dog stories would be great for any child (or adult!). It's beautifully coloured and laugh out loud funny in parts. The plot-lines are cleverly constructed - my favourite was 'The Golden Bone'. Highly recommended.
