Here Comes Kitty: A Comic Opera

Here Comes Kitty: A Comic Opera is a singular, ongoing graphic novel from Siglio Press that reimagines the classic opera Madama Butterfly through a fractured, postmodern lens. Launched in 2015, this single-issue work blends appropriated imagery, collage, and text to deconstruct the story's colonial and gendered narratives, placing it within a lineage of experimental, artist-driven comics. It matters as a bold, formally inventive example of how the medium can critically reinterpret canonical art and opera.
