Tokyopop Presents: King City

Brandon Graham’s King City is a sprawling, 12-issue sci-fi saga published by Image and Tokyopop from 2009 to 2010, following a cat-wielding mercenary and his shape-shifting feline through a neon-drenched, post-apocalyptic metropolis. Written and illustrated entirely by Graham, the series blends dense, inventive world-building with a loose, punk-rock energy, offering a richly detailed tapestry of alien cultures, underground tunnels, and bizarre street-level conspiracies. It stands as a defining work of the era’s indie-comics renaissance, showcasing Graham’s signature fusion of manga-inspired linework, architectural complexity, and deadpan humor.
