The Bad Guys is Aaron Blabey's graphic novel series for children, in which a crew of storybook villains led by Mr. Wolf, the Big Bad Wolf, set out to become heroes instead. Comic adventures with animals, chickens and kittens follow from that reversal, and the books are illustrated throughout. The run opens with The Bad Guys (2015) and reaches The Bad Guys In One Last Thing.
