About the series
In Prince of Cats, writer and artist Ron Wimberly reimagines Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet through a hip-hop-infused, cyberpunk lens, setting the tragedy in a Brooklyn where sword fights meet synthwave. Published by Dargaud since 2019, this single-issue series centers on Tybalt, the "Prince of Cats," exploring his code of honor and violent downfall with a distinctive visual style that blends manga, graffiti, and art deco. It matters as a bold, standalone reinterpretation of a classic, showcasing Wimberly’s unique narrative and artistic voice.
