"I wish I'd had these books as a kid. Hilarious!" -- Dav Pilkey, creator of Captain Underpants and Dog Man

They may look like Bad Guys, but these wannabe heroes are doing good deeds... whether you like it or not in this New York Times bestselling illustrated series.

OK. A lot of the stuff we said on the back of the last book was NOT TRUE. We now admit that The Bad Guys is WEIRD. We also admit that it features ALL the weird stuff we said it didn’t. PLUS there’s now a whole bunch of even weirder stuff involving an over-sharing bat, a really scary new character who lives in the woods, and a strangely confident little guy with a mullet. So, uh, don’t relax, maybe FREAK OUT a little and have your MIND BLOWN by the BAD GUYS!

The Bad Guys

The series

Full series details →

In a world where heroes are expected to be flawless and brave, The Bad Guys flips the script and takes readers on a wild ride with the most unlikely group of saviors. This hilarious and action-packed series follows a band of "bad guys"—a wolf, a shark, a piranha, and a snake—who are on a mission to prove that being good isn’t just for the goody-two-shoes. What makes this series so refreshing isn’t just the constant shenanigans or over-the-top humor, but the transformation of characters that the world has already written off.

Read full series description

The group’s chaotic attempts to do good—while struggling with their less-than-heroic instincts—create a perfect storm of laughter, heart, and unexpected camaraderie. They’re not your typical heroes; in fact, they’re more like the kind of characters that children love to root for because they’re flawed, relatable, and oddly endearing. As they face epic challenges, they evolve in unexpected ways, and their unlikely friendship becomes the core of their misadventures.

Filled with sharp wit, thrilling escapades, and vibrant illustrations, The Bad Guys is more than just a laugh-out-loud series—it’s an exploration of what it truly means to be a hero. With each new installment, readers are pulled deeper into the antics of this unconventional squad, where even the smallest victories feel monumental. What begins as a simple mission to do good quickly becomes something much bigger, and it’s clear that these “bad guys” might just be the best heroes the world never expected.

From the first page, readers are hooked on the absurdity and charm of the characters, eager to see how far these not-so-good guys can go in their quest for redemption. Whether it’s saving the day or simply trying to survive their latest mishap, The Bad Guys delivers action, humor, and heart in spades—one page at a time.
