Joe Hughes' RECOMMENDED VERTIGO SUMMER READING

 

Summer’s here and with it we’re releasing our summer reading list! Each day this week, we’ll give you a new recommendation from a different VERTIGO editor.   


But don’t worry, we won’t be making you read books without pictures and there's no book report due at the end.  Instead, we’ll be giving you the perfect comic to read at the beach, on a road trip or however you spend your summer.


Today, assistant editor Joe Hughes gives us his summer reading pick.


 

Vertigo Announces PRINCE OF CATS by Ronald Wimberly

This September, Vertigo will publish PRINCE OF CATS, an original paperback graphic novel written and illustrated by Ronald Wimberly (Sentences: The Life of M.F. Grimm).
 
This hip-hop retelling of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet focuses on Tybalt (derisively referred to as “The Prince of Cats”) and his Capulet crew as they do battle nightly with the hated Montagues. Set in Brooklyn, PRINCE OF CATS is a mix of urban drama, samurai action and classic Shakespearean theater . . . all written in iambic pentameter!
