It’s not quite infallible, though, as it’s still noticeable that the opening section is episodic and thrashing around as a fearsome barbarian warrior attempts to find a purpose in life after his home town of Kinmundy was destroyed by a giant seal. Over the opening section the novelty of a giant pug dog with that cute face and those sorrowful eyes carries the story a long way, especially combined with Norton’s lush and detailed cartooning. Battlepug’s had a good run considering it began when Norton was asked to contribute an illustration of a creator-owned project, realised he didn’t have one and submitted a barbarian warrior astride a giant pug dog. Three years after the final landscape edition of this good-natured sword and sorcery pastiche, Mike Norton compiled all five volumes for this Compugnium.
