The Wild Kingdom

Kevin Huizenga's The Wild Kingdom is a singular, ongoing comic from Drawn & Quarterly that began in 2010. A single, dense issue, it showcases Huizenga's signature blend of meticulous draftsmanship and philosophical inquiry, using the quiet rhythms of suburban life as a springboard for digressions into history, science, and the nature of time itself. It matters as a concentrated, landmark work from one of the most thoughtful cartoonists of his generation.
