The Dalgoda Omnibus

Dalgoda is on a desperate mission to save his world from alien invaders. The planet Canida, where the dominant species evolved from canines, faces annihilation by the warlike Nimp unless Dal can muster Earth's resources in Canida's defense. Can he trust a race of erratic, violent beings evolved from apes? Dog may be Man's best friend, but so far, Dal has met with bigotry, deceit, and attempted assassination...and that's just Day One.

By turns light-hearted and dramatic, humorous and heartbreaking, Dalgoda tells the story of an unlikely hero with the weight of salvation on his shoulders.

The Dalgoda Omnibus collects all eight issues of Jan Strnad and Dennis Fujitake's outstanding science fiction series, a series reviewers called one of the best and most original to emerge from the 1980s independent comics movement. In addition, the Omnibus includes the four-part Dalgoda miniseries Flesh & Bones and two bonus short stories, one illustrated by comics great Kevin Nowlan-in all, over 300 pages of extraordinary comic book storytelling-plus a gallery of Dalgoda conceptual and promotional artwork by Fujitake.

Jan Strnad is a writer of comic books, cartoons, novels, and short stories. He's worked for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, and independent comics (and comix) publishers, and for studios including Disney, Universal, Sony/Columbia and others. He and his wife Julie are ardent dog-lovers who have owned and fostered over a hundred dogs.

Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Dennis Fujitake was reprimanded in kindergarten for using too much drawing paper. Undeterred, he continues to this day to use too much drawing paper-for which people have willingly paid him, much to his bafflement. Ever the optimist, Dennis looks forward to living another 75 years.
