About the series
David Mack's Kabuki (1997–2000) is a singular, visionary work from Image Comics, blending cyberpunk noir with lyrical, experimental storytelling. Written and illustrated entirely by Mack, the series follows a disfigured government operative in a near-future Japan as she navigates identity, memory, and rebellion against the shadowy organization that created her. Mack's lush, innovative art—a collage of watercolors, calligraphy, and mixed media—pushes the boundaries of the comic medium, making Kabuki a landmark of creator-owned, avant-garde graphic fiction.
