"Definitely First-Class" -- Paul Gravett 20100223 "It is a brilliant homage to the classic noir detective movies, and pretty much every cop buddy movie going and is laced throughout with snappy dialogue and one-liners that will make you laugh out loud" Book Zone for Boys 20100304 "Sequential narrative (comic book panels to you and me) can offer more visual possibilities than straightforward writing and Dave Shelton makes full use of the form ... This hairy whodunnit will thrill children from 5-99. Go fetch!" -- Emma Byrne Inis 20100901 "The plots are goofy, the laughs are there and writer/artist Dave Shelton has got more expression out of his characters than I thought possible. Let's hope we see more of the Muttropolis duo in the future" Bear Alley 20100308 "A hilarious noir detective romp ... Full of slapstick visual gags and great wordplay, you'll soon develop a soft spot for these two lovable detectives" -- Daniel Hahn The Ultimate Book Guide 20100531

Dave Shelton was born and raised in Leicester (more or less) and educated at Loughborough, Cambridge and Brighton. He now lives and works in Cambridge. He has been drawing and colouring in professionally since 1990 and, as yet, has not starved to death as a result. Dave likes crosswords, comics and cricket and has never owned a dog.
