    A graphic novel adaptation of John Kennedy Toole’s Pulitzer Prize–winning cult classic—a wildly outrageous satiric portrait of 1960s America that still resonates today.
    Set in the French Quarter of 1960s New Orleans, this cult-classic satire follows unforgettable misfit Ignatius J. Reilly as his misadventures ricochet from hot dog carts to Bourbon Street, and collide with the city’s politics, vice, and absurdity.

    A wildly outrageous, darkly hilarious portrait of America, still razor-sharp and painfully relevant, reimagined in stunning visual form for lifelong fans and new readers.

    For fans of the darkly funny counter-culture satire of Catch-22 and Slaughterhouse-Five.
    Albert Monteys writes and draws comics in Barcelona where he lives with his wife and two kids. He spent the first twenty years of his career working as a satirical cartoonist until he got fed up of trying to do good caricatures of politicians. In 2014, he started his digital science-fiction series UNIVERSE! that is published at Panel Syndicate, along with many other amazing comics. In 2017, he was the artist for Solid State, a graphic novel by Matt Fraction that adapted the songs of Jonathan Coulton. His current projects are more issues of UNIVERSE! and trying to remember what he did with his free time.

    John Kennedy Toole (December 17, 1937 – March 26, 1969) was an American novelist from New Orleans, Louisiana, whose posthumously published novel, A Confederacy of Dunces, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1981.
