When a mysterious and evil puppet show passes by, Trout finds himself as the only one able to save the town from the puppeteer's nefarious grasp!

Living above a Turnip Factory, Trout is not like other kids. After many bizarre adventures, Trout has seen more than most adults in his short lifetime. Trout must grapple with the ferocious appetite of a monstrous repressed memory come to life, hell-bent on eating the town. And if that wasn't enough, when a mysterious and evil puppet show passes through, Trout is the only one able to save the town's children from the puppeteer's insidious grasp!

This Hardcover volume collects Trout #1-2 previously published by Oni Press in 2001, as well as Trout's first appearance in Dark Horse Presents #119-123 from 1997 along with a wonderfully weird assortment of never before seen material!
Troy Nixey, born in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, has illustrated a number of works for notable creators, like Mike Mignola's Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham and Batman: The Gasworks, Neil Gaiman's Only the End of the World Again (adapted by P.
