Karmen by Guillem March (Batman, Catwoman) is to finally be published as a trade paperback from Image Comics, having originally published the miniseries in 2020 and a deluxe hardcover.

“Punctuated with emotional depth and dark humor, Karmen is the story of Catalina—a recent suicide—who is taken under the wing of the quirky and mysterious angel, Karmen, on a journey of discovery and reflection.

Karmen is a provocative story that explores grief, suicide, and redemption told through the ethereal, dreamlike artwork that sets a reflective, haunting tone. Perfect for fans of contemplative and propulsive graphic novels like Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá’s Daytripper, Joe Kelly and Ken Niimura’s I Kill Giants, and Scott McCloud’s The Sculptor, films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Shape of Water, or novels like Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones or George Saunders’ Lincoln in the Bardo.

This is a story packed with surprises and metaphysics, tenderness and humor. It dives deep into the topics that matter and is brought to life by the creator behind the acclaimed Monika (Titan Comics) and The Dream (Europe Comics).”

Karmen was originally published in Belgium as a graphic novel by Dupuis, and while March has athriving career in Europe, he is best known for his work with DC Comics on titles like Batman, Catwoman, and Harley Quinn.

Karmen trade paperback is out in comic book stores on Wednesday, November 19th and bookstores on Tuesday, December 2nd.
