Prince of Cats

Ron Wimberly writes and illustrates this Image Comics series, a single-issue graphic novella that reimagines Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet from the perspective of Tybalt, the "Prince of Cats." Set in a stylized, hip-hop-infused 1980s Brooklyn, the story reframes the tragic feud through a lens of martial arts, street culture, and layered visual storytelling. Wimberly’s dense, expressive artwork and rhythmic dialogue create a bold, self-contained work that stands as a distinctive, genre-blending take on a classic tale.
