In a return to the literary and thematic territory of
LEMIRE's breakthrough graphic novel Essex County, ROYAL
CITY follows Patrick Pike, a fading literary star who reluctantly returns to
the once-thriving factory town where he grew up. There, Patrick is quickly drawn
back into the dramas of his two adult siblings, his overbearing mother, and his
browbeaten father, all of whom are still haunted by different versions of his
youngest brother, Tommy, who drowned decades ago.
ROYAL
CITY is a sprawling, ambitious graphic novel that charts the lives, loves,
and losses of a troubled family and a vanishing town across three decades. This
deluxe hardcover edition collects the entire ROYAL CITY in one complete
volume with behind-the-scenes material that takes readers deeper into both
Lemire's original story and creative
process.
