Young Pig is the all-important Dam Keeper--protecting town from "the sea of deadly black fog"--since his father disappeared. When Pig, friend Fox, and school bully Hippo wind up far from home, they embark on an eye-opening return journey. This beautifully realized graphic-novel adaptation of the animated short film's first part utilizes light to accentuate the known and unknown of this mysterious, dangerous world.
