Tiny Tyrant

In Tiny Tyrant, Lewis Trondheim and Alexis Siegel bring a sharp, humorous touch to the tale of King Ethelbert, a pint-sized monarch whose absolute rule over his tiny kingdom is matched only by his outsized temper and childish whims. Launched by First Second in 2007, this single-issue comic features the clean, expressive artwork of Fabrice Parme, whose vibrant style perfectly captures the absurdity of a royal court at the mercy of a spoiled six-year-old. A witty exploration of power and pettiness, it stands as a clever, self-contained gem from the acclaimed French cartoonist Trondheim.
