Description

Don’t Miss Poorly Drawn Lines on Cake, airing on FX and streaming on FX on Hulu!

From New York Times bestselling author and artist Reza Farazmand, his first graphic novel about a young monster who moves to a big city.

City Monster is set in a world of supernatural creatures and follows a young monster who moves to the city. As he struggles to figure out his future, his new life is interrupted by questions about his mysterious roommate—a ghost who can’t remember the past. Joined by their neighbor, a vampire named Kim, they explore the city, meeting a series of strange and spooky characters and looking for answers about life, memories, and where to get a good beer.

With Reza's signature style, and familiar snark, this graphic novel is equal parts irreverent and insightful, the perfect vehicle for conveying the utter absurdity of our bizarre and confusing times.
