Dog CrimeNobrow Press
In a world where dogs are revered as gods, what's the worst possible thing to be accused of? Dogcrime!

Printed in 3 spot colours in the style that Blexbolex has come to be so famous for, Dogcrime is a stunningly beautiful book to behold and has an equally zany story to match.
