Get a glimpse into what it means to create in the modern era

Arriving this fall, Dark Horse Books presents Eric Drooker’s long-awaited third original graphic novel, Naked City: A Graphic Novel. New York Times Editor’s Choice creator Eric Drooker brought comic book fans into an entirely new world with his award-winning Flood and Blood Song, and now expands on these with a new epic meditation on art and life. Blood Song is soon to be a major motion picture, and longtime fans or new readers alike can now explore the story-in-pictures style of Drooker’s expressionist, politically conscious storytelling in a new volume.

In this long-awaited graphic comedy from celebrated New Yorker cover artist, Drooker, three bohemians struggle to answer the question: “Is it possible for an artist to survive in the 21st Century?” A young singer poses for a painter who has shifted from landscapes to nudes, and both of them learn a thing or two about the purpose of art and the meaning of success. The original graphic novel Naked City takes us inside the head of native New York artist, Eric Drooker.

Naked City: A Graphic Novel will arrive in hardcover (6.25″ x 8.75″, 336 pages) on bookstore shelves October 8, 2024 and comic shops October 9, 2024. Pre-order at your local comic shop, bookstore, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble for $29.99.

Praise for Drooker’s Flood and Blood Song: “A complex, dream-charged vision of alienation in the wet, mean streets of New York City, where primal, natural urges are suppressed in the lonely isolation of crowds. It’s a picture of a soulless civilization headed toward the apocalypse. It’s a poetic and lyrical novel—told virtually without words . . . FLOOD, is powerful and assured. . . . Mr. Drooker has discovered the magic of pulling light and life out of an inky sea of darkness.”—Art Spiegelman, NY Times Book Review

“Mr. Drooker is a true successor to Lynd Ward and Frans Masereel: his New York is the New York of nightmare, a wordless metropolis of ever looming disaster. FLOOD is a powerful vision, scraped with care on the backs of our eyeballs.”—Neil Gaiman

“Set against BLOOD SONG’s themes of regeneration, rebirth, and resistance is the brute power of armies and police forces that do the bidding of vested interests. Drooker’s real accomplishment is that he tells this modern story without words… relying solely on the images and their sequence, we comprehend Drooker’s narrative immediately and viscerally. He is granting us a direct line into the heart of the female protagonist.”—Joe Sacco

“Eric Drooker’s elegiac, spiritual, and political BLOOD SONG has no current peer. Written in a language that anyone can understand, exploring themes of universal interest.” —Time
