"'Slogger, man,' I said. 'Your dad’s dead.' 'I know that, Davie. But it’s him. He’s come back again, like he said he would.' Do you believe in life after death? Slog does. He believes that the scruffy man on a bench outside the butcher shop is his dad, returned to visit him one last time. Slog’s friend Davie isn’t so sure. Can it be that some mysteries are never meant to be solved? And that belief, at times, is its own reward? The acclaimed creators of The Savage reunite for a feat of graphic storytelling that defies categorization. Eerie, poignant, and masterful, Slog’s Dad is a tale of astonishing power and complexity."--From publisher.

Ages 7–up. Publishers Weekly.
