- Dog Man is a comedic graphic novel series created by American author and cartoonist Dav Pilkey and published by Scholastic Corporation. The series is about a dog-headed cop protecting the city he resides in with his friends. The book series includes ten books, the first released in 2016 and the latest in 2021. The latest book is called Dog Man: Mothering Heights and it was released on March 23, 2021. An in-universe comic series in the Captain Underpants fictional universe, George Beard and Harold Hutchins, the two protagonists of the Captain Underpants series, created Dog Man in kindergarten. At the end of the last Captain Underpants book, George and Harold find their old Dog Man comics. After reading them, they become inspired to rewrite them and make Dog Man comics again. In 2020, ten Dog Man books (including one Cat Kid Comic Club, a spin-off) sold a total of over 3.8 million copies, 13% of the total comics book sales, as charted by BookScan. This does not include digital copies or any copy sold by Scholastic through school book fairs. On December 9, 2020, it was announced that a Dog Man feature film is in development at DreamWorks Animation with Peter Hastings directing in the helm after his experience with Dav Pilkey's works from The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants.
