Hicksville

Dylan Horrocks’ Hicksville (2012–present, Reprodukt) is a celebrated meditation on the culture and mythology of comic books themselves, set in a small New Zealand town that holds a secret library of lost or forgotten comics. Published as a single issue by the German publisher Reprodukt, this work expands on Horrocks’ earlier graphic novel of the same name, delving deeper into the lives of cartoonists, collectors, and the stories that shape them. It’s a quietly essential read for anyone curious about the soul behind the panels.
