Summary:
Patrick Pike, a fading literary star, reluctantly returns to the once-thriving factory town of Royal City where he grew up. Patrick is quickly drawn back into the dramas of his two adult siblings, his overbearing mother and his brow beaten father, all of whom are still haunted by different versions of his youngest brother, Tommy, who drowned decades ago. As each member of the family struggles to keep themselves above water, it quickly becomes clear that Tommy's death isn't the only dark secret tearing the town, and this family, apart at the seams. Can each member of the Pike family come to terms with their own guilt over Tommy's death, and make peace with the many versions of Tommy that still haunt them, or will they all be dragged down below the river along with his lingering ghost? Royal City promises to be a sprawling, serialized graphic novel that will chart the lives, loves and losses of a troubled family and a vanishing town, across three decades. Jeff Lemire is a Canadian cartoonist. He is the author of the Essex County Trilogy, Sweet Tooth, The Nobody, and Animal Man.
