Rising star writer ee zann and artist Godfarr team up for an all-new action-packed tale in the upcoming I, Tyrant. This mythical new ongoing series will launch in July from Image Comics.
I, Tyrant will also feature eye-popping cover art by Spawn artist Jason Shawn Alexander and stunning connecting covers by series artist Godfarr.
The no-holds-barred action of 300 meets Birdman‘s magical realism when Zahhak—a legend with a stark depiction of tyrants—proposes that Hafez toss out his unpromising myth’s conclusion. Hafez must retell it with a Kirby exodus for Zahhak, to give his tale a Miller reboot in the comics industry. Creation myth needs a Devil.
“1979 Iran banned comics—and never looked twice. This might be a nonsense song where I come from, but I, Tyrant is a no-nonsense self-portrait of an expat and his ode to Miller, Kirby, and all comics Americana,” said zann.
Godfarr added: “We tried to summon the spirit of Kirby. zann summoned a thousand notes instead. Fourteen years of Miller moods and midnight redraws of Zahhak. While we two make whoopee, you be careful when you open I, Tyrant.”
