Dog Man: Supa Special Limited Edition is a collector's comic that was made to promote the 2025 Dog Man film. It includes an small comic written and illustrated by Dav Pilkey along with photos and artwork from the movie itself. Unlike most Dog Man books, it was exclusive to Scholastic Book Club, and teachers had to place an order to get the book.
Summary (Mini-Comic)[]
Sarah Hatoff reports on the new Dog Man movie along with Dog Man, Li'l Petey, Zuzu and Molly. During the report, Sarah mentions that she watched the movie through an special screening for reporters and says that it's the best movie ever! She then tells the other three about the inside scoop on how they all look different in the movie in terms of designs and scenery. After showing the designs of the characters in the movie, Molly then frustratingly asks why the page didn't show her and why Sarah's hair looks different. Sarah then proceeds to ask the kids if they like her hair better in real life (the books) or the movie, of which the kids reply with the latter - angering Sarah in the process. She then mentions on how when movies are made, "lots of artists work together, and each one brings their unique vision to the project!" Li'l Petey then chimes in, noticing that those are drawings. Sarah then continues, saying on how "hundreds of artists spend thousands of hours creating millions of words and pictures", after which, she asks the two kids if they want to see some photos from the movie, of which they shout "YEAH!!!" in excitement.
Following the photos, Li'l Petey notice the "...then Dog Man is GO!" tagline and Molly responds saying that after all these years, it still doesn't make any sense. But either way, she and the others still like it!
Trivia[]
- Dog Man: Supa Special Limited Edition is the first book since Dog Man: Fetch-22 to have the "Dog Man is GO!" quote, and the first one since Dog Man: Brawl of the Wild to have the full gag of it.
- This book strongly implies that the 2025 Dog Man movie is an adaptation that did not have the character’s involvement, as evidenced by the fact that they were talking about how “cartoony” they looked in the movie.
