Mack Moon and the P.E.T.S.
By Russ Cox, Dan Jolley, Hannah McGill
Mack Moon has always loved space, so it’s EPIC when he discovers that his three pets are actually secret agents from P.E.T.S. But it's NOT-so-epic when Mack finds out they're here because an evil space ferret, Barbara has arrived on planet Earth.
Mack Moon dreams of being the first kid in space. So imagine his surprise when he discovers that his three regular pets—a goofy Labrador named Pickles, a tough gray cat called Lady, and a goldfish dubbed The Fish—are actually undercover agents. They belong to a secret agency called the Planetary, Enforcement, Tactics, and Stealth, AKA the P.E.T.S.
When the True Form of Evil, aka a ferret named Barbara (and yes, she gave herself that nickname), crash lands into Mack’s hometown, the P.E.T.S. must spring, jump, and swish into action to stop her.
Barbara’s goal?
Take over plant Earth.
After that?
Eat pancakes. Extra fluffy, please.
Add in a battalion of poop-slinging space monkeys, a TV news station that’s gone to the dogs, and an epic pillow fight—and you’re holding in your hands the perfect recipe for an action-packed and hilarious graphic novel that’s perhaps even more delicious than Mack’s dad’s super-awesome ravioli.
(Just kidding! Nothing is that delicious.)
Except pancakes…
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Mack Moon and the P.E.T.S. is a hilarious and LOL-worthy, action-packed space adventure that's perfect for fans of Galactic Hot Dogs, The Last Kids on Earth, The Moosicians, and Zita the Spacegirl.
3, 2, 1 . . . Commander Moon, prepare for blast off!
This is a brand-new full-color graphic novel series that's Hilo: The Boy Who Crashed to Earth meets The Secret Life of Pets.

About the Author
Russ Cox was raised in the backwoods of Tennessee. Without much in the way of modern conveniences, like television or running water, he spent his time drawing, whittling, and throwing dirt clods at his cousins. With the bulk of his life spent in Pennsylvania, he met his wife; became a graphic designer; played in punk, alternative, and surf bands; had two kids; and started his own illustration studio, Smiling Otis Studio (named after one of their enormous cats). Russ lives in Portland, Maine with his wife and three cats. None of them are galactic soldiers . . . or so he thinks.
