Web comic Achewood debuted in 2001 and quickly became a fan-favorite, while earning plenty of critical acclaim. Time magazine named it #1 of the Top 10 Graphic Novels of 2007, and it also won the Ignatz Award for "Outstanding Online Comic" 2007 and 2008!

Following the absurdist adventures of anthropomorphised cats Raymond Quentin "Ray" Smuckles, Cassandra "Roast Beef" Kazenzakis, young naive otter Philippe, the suave Cornelius Bear, stuffed tiger Lyle Roscoe Gabriel, and others, Achewood is chock-full of chaotic humor and quirky characters. If you haven't checked this series out, Achewood HC Volume 1: The Great Outdoor Fight is a great intro, and if you're already a fan, wouldn't you love to win a signed copy of this ridiculous opus?

We'll be giving away cool signed comics swag every week, so bookmark our blog and check back soon!
