Ma Vie de Loup (graphic novel, 156 pags), was published in France in 2018 by Éditions Sarbacane, and released in Brazil and the USA in the following years (SESI-SP Editora 2019, Ablaze Publishing 2020).
The synopsys: A young guard dog, raised by sheep, finds himself in the midst of an identity crisis. A chance encounter with a pack of displaced wolves sets off a chain of events that sends him on a journey of self-discovery.
Told from the animals’ perspective and featuring a livestock guardian dog as the protagonist, Wild Thing is an adventure story for all ages, rooted in the age-old conflict between instinct and domestication.
Cover of the French edition, Éditions Sarbacane, 2018
“Wild Thing is a fascinating adventure, a road movie for dogs, brimming with life, depth, passion and setbacks. The plot, the relationships and the connections between the characters form an intelligent chain of events leading up to the final resolution.
Clayton masters dialogue, glances, movements and timing like few others. This distinctive style of storytelling is what gives Wild Thing its relevance, power and uniqueness.”
Marcelo D’Salete – Run for It, 2018 Eisner Award (From the blurb of the USA edition)
