Beasts of Burden, the Eisner Award-winning series by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson, will be collected into a hefty, 576-page omnibus next spring. Beasts of Burden Omnibus will include the four collected editions published so far, Animal Rites, Occupied Territory, Neighborhood Watch, and Wise Dogs and Eldritch Men, as well as several tie-in stories, one of which features a guest appearance by Hellboy. The paperback omnibus will be released on February 11, 2025, in the book channel and February 12 in comic shops and will have an MSRP of $29.99.
Dorkin created the concept, about a group of pets who investigate supernatural occurrences in their suburban neighborhood, as a short story for the Dark Horse Book of Hauntings and then went on to develop the idea further with Thompson into a comic series. Benjamin Dewey joined the team as the artist for Wise Dogs and Eldritch Men (see “Evan Dorkin Brings Back ‘Beasts of Burden’“) and currently alternates with Thompson as the artist; writers Sarah Dyer and Mike Mignola have also contributed to the series, which has won nine Eisner Awards.
