About the series
Phil Hester and Andy Kuhn's Firebreather launched at Image Comics in 2003, a four-issue series that reimagines the teenage monster as a high-schooler. Duncan Rosenblatt is just trying to survive the usual adolescent trials—parents, bullies, crushes—while grappling with the small complication that he's the son of a kaiju-sized dragon. The series is a clever, character-driven spin on monster mythology, grounding its epic-scale family drama in the relatable awkwardness of growing up.
