Sweet Tooth
**Kids like Gus have a price on their heads.**

Seven years ago, the Affliction raged like a forest fire, killing billions. The only children born since are part of a new breed of human-animal hybrids. Gus is one of these children, a boy with a sweet soul, a sweeter tooth-and the features of a deer.

When vicious hunters descend on his isolated forest home, a mysterious and violent man called Jepperd rescues Gus. The hulking drifter promises to lead Gus to The Preserve, a fabled safe haven for hybrid children.

As the two cross this dangerous new American frontier, will Jepperd corrupt the boy he’s nicknamed Sweet Tooth, or will Gus’s heart change Jepperd?

Written and illustrated by spectacular talent Jeff Lemire, Sweet Tooth is a haunting tale of survival in post-apocalyptic America of friendships formed in tragedy, and the good and bad in humankind.
