Cassandra Darke

Posy Simmonds’ Cassandra Darke (2018–present, Jonathan Cape) is a single-volume graphic novel that introduces the sharp, unsparing title character, an art dealer in contemporary London. Written and illustrated entirely by Simmonds, the book examines wealth, privilege, and moral compromise through a story as visually rich as it is socially observant. It stands as a distinct, self-contained work from one of Britain’s most celebrated cartoonists.
