  <default-description>The complete graphic novel cycle, with Ellison's short stories featuring illustrations by Corben. Beginning with &quot;Eggsucker,&quot; chronicling the early days between 14-year-old loner Vic and his brilliant, telepathic dog, Blood, the book continues and expands into &quot;A Boy and his Dog,&quot; showing how much smarter Blood is and how loyal Vic is. Each adaptation is followed by the actual Ellison short story, illustrated with previously unpublished art by Corben.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, here is what this book is:  Harlan Ellison wrote a short piece of fiction that was supposed to be the beginning of a novel.  (This was made into a movie, but I didn't see the movie, so that doesn't concern me at the moment.)  Then he wrote a bit of a prologue to that.  Then, when this particul...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60669903">more...</a>]]></body>
