Southland Tales

Set in an alternate 2008 America on the brink of social collapse, Southland Tales is a sprawling, satirical comic series published by Graphitti Designs that serves as a prequel to the film of the same name. Written and drawn by Richard Kelly, the series expands the movie's dense universe of political paranoia, celebrity culture, and apocalyptic conspiracy. Though it consists of only a single issue, it's a key artifact for fans of Kelly's singular vision, offering a dense, text-heavy narrative that deepens the film's labyrinthine mythology.
