    A jewelry store clerk is devoured by a mass of flesh-eating worms. 
    It’s just another heist for WILLIE “THE WORM” PITTS and his gang. There is a strong suspicion that the police cannot control crime in the city. The entire department is on edge. Against this backdrop of crime gone wild, STAN POCAROBA, a K-9 police officer, keeps his unit of dogs ready to go and emotionally attached like a close-knit family. 
    One night, Stan and his K-9 Unit corner Willie in a university lab. During the gun fight, test tubes explode in Stan's face. His blood absorbs the fossilized cells of a prehistoric raptor. Stan soon learns that he is able to transform into a raptor with all the powers of the fabled hunter, but not without a few drawbacks. His transformation is a work-in-progress including the pitfalls and dangers of a disjointed life in an unforgiving world. 
    In order to escape the lab, Willie takes a lab research chemist, JUANITA, as hostage. She is the only person capable of unlocking the mystery of Stan's condition. Stan needs to hurry if he wants to save Juanita. But, the police mistake a transformed Stan for one of the criminals and a dragnet is set up for his capture. 
    Time is running out. Willie buries Juanita in a coffin with a 48-hour air supply, adding a snake and a mouse to keep her company. He demands $10 million from the city or he will let Juanita die. 
    Can Stan control his transformations enough to find Juanita? Will he be captured by his own police department? And how will the dogs cope with a prehistoric raptor as their commander? 
    “Raptor Cop” is a non-stop, action/adventure roller coaster ride---with all the exciting twists and turns!

    Cats Are Weird - And More...

    The bestselling author of the Star Wars®: Jedi Academy series “does an excellent job of capturing the little nuances and movements that make a cat a cat” (Comics Forge).   Cartoonist Jeffrey Brown’s drawings perfectly capture the humor and quirkiness of cats in all their strange and charming glory. Following the success of Cat Getting Out of a Bag, this collection of color and black-and-white comic strips loosely follows the adventures of a pair of cats as they explore the world around them, indoors and out. Adventures include taking a nap, licking a shoe, attacking dust particles, hiding in cabinets, pouncing on fallen leaves, confronting the vacuum cleaner, patrolling the yard, and purring up a storm—all adorably rendered in Brown’s immediate and irresistible style. Sure to delight anyone who lives with cats and appreciates their sweet and batty behavior, this gift book is the cat’s meow. Plus, this is a fixed-format version of the book, which looks nearly identical to the print version.  “No characters. No story. The joy we get from these comics is born from Brown’s ability to transmit his love of cats and extol the banal in well-executed gags. That Brown has created powerful, humorous celebrations of the mundane in the form of the queasily-commercial, CAA ‘cat book’ medium is delightfully surprising and odd and funny, because it’s true.” —The Comics Journal
