'Saga's Brian K. Vaughan Teams with Niko Henrichon for Graphic Novel 'Spectators' Available Today

 


New York Times bestselling, award winning creative team Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, We Stand on Guard, Paper Girls) and Niko Henrichon (Fang, Pride of Baghdad) are back with a provocative, hard hitting new graphic novel titled, Spectators. First serialized in the pair’s Substack newsletter, this jaw-dropping, lavishly hand-painted epic will be collected in its entirety at last and on shelves today. 

Spectators sees Vaughan and Henrichon together again—for the first time in nearly two decades since their award winning, contemporary classic Pride of Baghdad took the industry by storm—this time for their most ambitious project yet.

“Niko and I are so proud of every panel of this 344-page graphic novel, which took us over three years to complete, and which we hope will be a one-of-a-kind experience for mature readers ready for an uncensored exploration of the very different ways we all watch sex and violence," said Vaughan.

Set hundreds of years in the future, New York City is haunted by many ghosts, including a voyeuristic woman who died in our present day and a mysterious gun-toting man from the distant past. Normally solo travelers, these two specters meet each other just in time to observe what might be the end of the (living) world.

Spectators is a shockingly graphic, gripping story exploring themes of life, death, regret, and voyeurism as two souls travel the world together bearing witness to society’s forward march toward decay. Readers won't be able to look away as they watch with dark fascination as Spectators explores the fine line between living and watching-others-live in a world that increasingly veers toward sitting on the sidelines. Fully painted by the immensely talented Henrichon, and written by the bestselling and multiple award-winning Vaughan, this is an adult project—explicitly sexy, yet a deeply contemplative and bittersweet story of existential awakening. 




Spectators hardcover (ISBN: 9781534331211, Lunar Code 0425IM287) is available now at local comic book shops, independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones.
