The book arrived in good condition and exactly as described. The hardcover feels sturdy and high quality, which is great for kids who tend to read and re-read these books a lot. The illustrations are colourful and engaging, just like the rest of the Dog Man series. Story-wise, this one focuses more on Big Jim’s backstory rather than Dog Man himself. My child still enjoyed it, especially the humour and comic-style pages, but they did mention they missed Dog Man being the main character more. It’s still very entertaining, with lots of funny moments and easy-to-follow storytelling, perfect for reluctant readers or younger kids who enjoy graphic novels. Overall: A fun addition to the series, well-made physically, and enjoyable for fans—just be aware it shifts focus away from Dog Man a bit. Would recommend for existing fans of the series. Review: Another Brilliant Adventure in the Dog Man Series - Dog Man 13 is every bit as funny and engaging as the rest of the series. The story had me and my child laughing out loud from start to finish. The full-colour illustrations really bring the characters to life, making it a joy to read page by page. I love how the book mixes humour, action, and heart, keeping kids entertained while also sneaking in positive messages about friendship and doing the right thing. It’s the kind of book that kids can read over and over without getting bored. Whether you’re a long-time Dog Man fan or new to the series, this book is funny, charming, and beautifully illustrated — a real treat for young readers. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 5,843 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 9 in Children's Books on Law & Crime 11 in Superhero Comics for Children 12 in Children's Mystery & Detective Comics & Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 8,450 Reviews | ## Images ![Dog Man 13: Big Jim Begins (a laugh-out-loud, full-colour book in the Number One, millions-of-copies-selling series!): A Graphic Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71K+9YJ7VbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by A***E on 7 May 2026* I bought Dog Man 13: Big Jim Begins from Amazon for my child, who is a big fan of the series.

The comic-style storytelling is light-hearted and hilarious, making it perfect for encouraging reluctant or casual readers. He especially loves the drawing tutorials at the end of the book, which show how to draw characters step by step. This has really helped him get creative with pen and paper, even though he doesn’t usually consider himself “arty.” A fun, educational, and engaging read that kids can enjoy again and again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dog Man: Big Jim Begins: A Graphic Novel (Dog Man #13): From the Creator of Captain Underpants - Dog Man: The Scarlet Shedder: A Graphic Novel (Dog Man #12): From the Creator of Captain Underpants - Dog Man: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea: A Graphic Novel (Dog Man #11): From the Creator of Captain Underpants --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/632774439-dog-man-13-big-jim-begins-a-laugh-out-loud](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/632774439-dog-man-13-big-jim-begins-a-laugh-out-loud) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
