Tuki #1

A silhouetted figure stands in profile against a blazing African sunset, a lone acacia tree anchoring the vast horizon between them — it's a striking, sun-drenched image that sets an epic prehistoric mood. Jeff Smith, the sole creative force behind every line of this book, brings the same singular vision to Tuki: Fight for Fire, transporting readers two million years into the past. This 2021 Cartoon Books release promises an ambitious, deeply personal project from Smith that looks as beautiful as anything on the shelf.
