Description
Zicky: Wrath of the Rat King is an all-ages fantasy adventure graphic novel combining isekai manga with western comic storytelling. With its expressive visual style, cheeky humor, and emotionally grounded characters, Zicky puts a fresh spin on classic kai (portal fantasy) storytelling. Zicky is ideal for readers who love fast-moving fantasy with heart. A coming-of-age story set in a strange and dangerous world, this graphic novel delivers a unique voice and a vivid, unforgettable journey.
Deep underground, Zicky plunges into the lair of the Rat King—a tyrant amassing an army of rodents to invade the real world. A mysterious supervillain lurks in the shadows, and the fate of both worlds hangs in the balance. But just as the battle begins, Zicky wakes up... back in his bedroom, surrounded by his siblings who tease him for believing his adventures are more than a dream.

Advance Praise
Zicky deftly employs two different artists to reflect how the narrative slips between fantasy and reality...smashing expectations, springing surprises, and keeping the pages pleasurably turning, all while grounding the chaotic story in the growing pains of children and the anxieties of the adults raising them.
— Booklife/Publishers Weekly
A manga graphic novel of surprising verve and sophistication.
— IndieReader
Cape’s story is endlessly entertaining. Decrux and Gabotto’s vibrant illustrations wonderfully combine gleefully exaggerated action sequences with nuanced touches. Comedy reigns throughout...Delightful and rib-tickling.
