A bind-up edition of the first Garbage Night book, along with the eagerly anticipated new sequel. A tale of friendship, trust and survival in a post-apocalyptic world.​

In a barren and ransacked backyard, a dog named Simon lives with his two best friends: a raccoon and a deer. The unlikely gang spend their days looting and waiting for the return of the hallowed ‘garbage night’ – but week after week, the bins remain empty. When the gang are told of the ‘other town’, where humans are rumoured to live, the trio set off into the unknown…

On their journey, the trio encounter a collective of their fellow animals who have control and live in semi-chaotic harmony. It doesn’t take long for them to settle into the community, but something isn’t quite right about their new allies, and the mystery of Black Thistle Acres begins to unravel feelings, truths, and secrets from every side. The real question is, will they continue their mission to the city? Or will someone get left behind?
Benji Lee grew up in Florida and started drawing at 5. Their first original characters were two hyenas who were essentially Itchy and Scratchy knockoffs. After being a feral teen in Florida, Benji then got a BFA in Illustration at SVA. They then went on to publish comics, do some designs for Drop Dead Clothing, and work in animation in Los Angeles where they currently live.
