Kill My Mother: A Graphic Novel

In Kill My Mother, legendary cartoonist Jules Feiffer crafts a single-volume graphic novel that channels the hard-boiled Hollywood thrillers and noir comics of the 1930s and '40s. Published by Liveright in 2015, this standalone work follows a cast of desperate characters—a tough private eye, a fading femme fatale, and a young girl caught in their orbit—through a twisting tale of murder, betrayal, and cinematic homage. Feiffer, already renowned for his decades of satirical cartoons and plays, brings his signature wit and psychological depth to a genre he clearly loves, making this a personal and playful addition to his celebrated career.
