Welcome to Great Dog Literary

Robert Love is a critically acclaimed artist and writer best known for co-creating Fierce (2004), Shadow Rock (2007), and Number 13 (2012), all graphic novels published by Dark Horse Comics. His current project is the one-shot comic book Children of the Plague, which he wrote and illustrated for Dark Horse Comics and will be released on September 29, 2021. Robert briefly worked as a high school and junior high school graphic art teacher, and continues to volunteer with 916 Ink, Sacramento’s arts-based creative writing nonprofit, which provides workshops for Sacramento area youth, grades 3-12, to transform them into confident writers and published authors.

In addition to his creator-owned properties, Robert was the artist for Alpha Girl (2011), published by Image Comics, and the artist on Never Ending (2014), published by Dark Horse Comics. Robert also designed and illustrated two comic books that were published by the California Endowment of the Arts and Urban Habitat, focusing on the origins of Sacramento County and Del Norte County. Robert has done illustration and design work for the Disney Channel, B.E.T., Vibe Magazine, and the Sacramento Kings. He co-created the web-series The Adventures of Venus Kincaid, which was developed as a motion picture by Fox 2000. 

Robert is currently writing and drawing Fearless Grasshopper, a humorous and action filled middle-grade graphic novel about a boy, Leo, who discovers that his kung fu master grandfather, Samson, has been turned into a grasshopper with magical kung fu powers. The two work together to fight villainous martial arts bad guys drawn to the martial arts magic. Leo and Samson also must figure out how to return his grandfather to his human form. The only problem is that Leo can only become a kung fu master when he swallows his magical grasshopper grandfather. Robert’s next middle grade graphic novel is a paranormal anthology series called Life on Doom Street. Doom Street is a weird street that has strange things happening daily, kind of like living in The Twilight Zone. There are four neighborhood friends fighting to survive while experiencing a new mystery or adventure that can happen anywhere on Doom Street.
