“I’m excited to finally let Old Dog off his leash this August. I’m putting everything I have into this initial 6 issue ‘Redact’—all written, drawn, coloured and designed by myself. I’m making sure this is the best looking book I’ve ever drawn, down to the lovely card-stock cover,” said Shalvey. “For me, Old Dog is a return to the bold, moody, action packed storytelling I enjoy, each issue detailing a new adventure and opportunity to draw something cooler than the chapter before. I’m aiming to make an event-book with this, and ye’re all invited to come along.”
