I’m so excited that First Second will be publishing her new series! With notes of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Lloyd Alexander’s Prydain, and Ursula K. “Faith Erin Hicks is one of the most exciting cartoonists working today, and her work has raised the bar in comics for kids and teens. We’re going to make some really good comics together in the next few years,” says Faith Erin Hicks. I’m a fan of First Second, both as a publisher who publishes great comics that I want to read, and also as a group of creative people who know how to bring out the best in a cartoonist. To see my comic sitting beside incredible books like Battling Boy, Delilah Dirk, and Boxers & Saints means a tremendous amount. It’s a story that’s very close to my heart and something I’ve been working on for a few years. “I’m absolutely thrilled that First Second Books will be publishing The Nameless City. Hicks has created a beautiful and intricate world inspired by Central Asia and the Silk Road in which the besieged inhabitants of an ancient city are desperate to learn the secrets of the perished civilization which carved the city out of living rock.
The two of them must find common ground between their cultures and foil a sinister conspiracy. An unlikely friendship forms between Nameless City native Rat, and Kai, whose country has recently conquered her city. First Second will be publishing The Nameless City, a new trilogy from rising star Faith Erin Hicks in the tradition of Jeff Smith’s Bone and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
