Kill My Mother: A Graphic Novel

In 2014, legendary cartoonist Jules Feiffer launched Kill My Mother for Liveright, a single-issue graphic novel that serves as a sprawling, noir-inflected homage to the pulp thrillers and crime films of his youth. Feiffer, already revered for decades of satirical work and his Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoons, wrote and drew every page, weaving a darkly comic, multi-generational tale of femme fatales, washed-up detectives, and the corrosive weight of family secrets. It stands as a late-career masterpiece from a master storyteller, blending his signature jagged linework with a labyrinthine plot that pays tribute to the genre while pushing its boundaries.
