Jax and the Hellhound is a limited series comic book by Dennis Morales Francis and published by Blackthorne Publishing.
The series was about a young man who traveled around the world helping the U.S. Government fight the bad guys and helping a canine demon keep the really bad creatures from entering our dimension. The combination of 1980's futility of the war on drugs mirrored the fantasy aspects of the policing of inter-dimensional space.
