Caliban

In Caliban, Komics Initiative launched a singular, self-contained comic in 2020 that reimagines Shakespeare’s The Tempest through a stark, modern lens. The series distills the classic tale of magic, revenge, and colonialism into a single, dense issue, focusing on the island’s original inhabitant as a figure of raw, elemental conflict. Written and drawn by a team known for atmospheric, character-driven storytelling, this brief but potent entry stands as a thoughtful, standalone exploration of power and identity.
