Editor Brandon Montclare confirmed, " Sweet Tooth is taken down and rebuilt every issue-sometimes every page. Because the nature of monthly comics is dependent on sales, initially not even Jeff Lemire knew how many issues Sweet Tooth would run. Twelve issues were slated for Sweet Tooth 's first year (as part of Lemire's initial contract). As well as art influence by Richard Corben's A Boy and His Dog written by Harlan Ellison and The Punisher: The End, written by Garth Ennis. Sweet Tooth, as a post-apocalyptic parable, is rife with influences such as Tim Truman’s Scout: War Shaman and the Winterworld three issue mini-series. Gus, Jepperd, Becky, Lucy, Wendy, Bobby, Johnny, and Singh stumble across a mysterious dam.Īlthough the story is initially set in Nebraska, the landscape is inspired by Lemire's past home of Essex County, Ontario. Somehow, the headmaster is now friendly and sympathetic towards the injured, moaning boy. Buddy is taken by Abbot who murders the head cultist to do so. Despite the emotional turmoil, the group closes ranks to protect the children still with them. and at the same time seems to think Jepperd is his father. Seemingly, Buddy is lost to the murderous attentions of the hybrid cultists.

While on the move, Jepperd and Gus share an identical dream about Alaska.Ī battle and the intervention of Johnny allow Jepperd and the women to escape with the children and Dr Singh, who insists on coming. With help from Johnny, the children escape, although Gus is forced to kill a lost alligator-child who had gone feral. He recruits Becky and Lucy, the women he saved, and hundreds of hybrid cultists. Jepperd, overwhelmed with guilt and a directionless life, decides to re-rescue Gus. They discover a bible that was written by Gus's father, but no evidence of a mother in her grave, on the way back to the camp, Singh starts to believe the writings. He discovers that Gus's father was a lunatic, and may even have been responsible for the apocalypse. Gus is hypnotized by Dr Singh, who goes deep into his memory to find out the truth about his birth. Gus, despite the horrors, makes friends with the last of the animal children at the place, the pig girl Wendy, half feral groundhog boy Bobby, and the silent donkey boy Buddy.

This was why Jepperd betrayed Gus, and he heads home to fulfill a promise to his wife that he would "bring her back home". He is recaptured, and Abbot lets him out of the camp, telling him he can have his wife's remains if he brings Abbot a hybrid child. Johnny tells Jepperd his wife is dead, and Jepperd goes on a rampage through the facility. Jepperd is kept in a cage but is eventually freed by Abbot's brother Johnny, a guard in the facility. It was all a trick however, with Abbot and Singh experimenting on pregnant women and hybrid babies to try to find a cure for the plague. Eventually though, Louise revealed she was pregnant and Jepperd relents when a militia, led by Abbot, offers protection. In flashback we learn Jepperd was a former hockey bruiser who protected his wife Louise in the post apocalyptic world. Singh, believe the half-animal half-human children hybrids have something to do with it. It turns out a mysterious plague has been wiping out humanity, and the leader of the facility, Abbot, along with scientist Dr. Ultimately, Jepperd betrays Gus to a horrible scientific facility in return for the remains of his wife. The duo also rescue several women from a prostitution ring. 'Sweet Tooth' then earns his nickname by eating all of Jepperd's candy/food stash though he had gained more food while Jepperd recovered. Hybrid cultists almost kill Jepperd but Gus saves him. Along the way, they encounter many problems. They are slain by Jepperd, who then promises to take Gus to a sanctuary. Sometime after Gus' father passes from an illness, strange men come to capture him. Though he loves his religious father, he yearns to escape as he learns that there is not fire past the trees, but simply more land. He learns many things, from medical care to religious prophecy. Gus, a young boy with deer features, lives a quiet life deep in the woods with his father.
