Exclusive Comics Excerpt: ‘King City’


Every week, the Comics Page introduces you to brand-new graphic novels by the world's best artists and writers. Manga, superheroes, indie comix — we'll cover them all as our editors select the best the exploding comics world has to offer.



In King City, a semi-futuristic metropolis full of spy gangs, alien porn, and reasonably priced diners, Joe the thief is alone… except for his cat. With a simple injection, Joe's cat can be anything: a deadly weapon, a periscope, or even a cuddly companion…


All week on the Comics Page, we're excerpting Brandon Graham’s King City, a stylish and ridiculous English-language manga out this month from Toyopop.
