Dandelion is a high-stakes, cli-fi themed, anthology packed with original stories and talent

Sabir Pirzada makes his creator-owned comics debut with the upcoming graphic anthology, Dandelion. It will feature a bevy of cutting-edge artists, eye-popping cover art by Tula Lotay, and hit shelves in June from Image Comics.

Dandelion‘s exciting assembly of science fiction stories by Pirzada will showcase a murderer’s row of talented artists, including: Martín Morazzo, Vanesa R. Del Rey, Eric Koda, Roy Allan Martinez, Gegê Schall, Thomas Campi, and up-and-coming artists Adrian Rivero, Juha Veltti, and Marquis Rogers.

In Dandelion, when climate change and automation disrupt the lives of millions, a new civilization is formed in the skies—one that threatens the wealthy citizens who’ve been hoarding Earth’s meager resources for themselves.

This lot of climate crisis-infused tales will be brought to life with lush coloring by Juha Veltti, Jacob Phillips, and Lee Loughridge and sharp lettering skills from Aditya Bidikar, and Taylor Esposito.

Dandelion trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534397545) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, June 12 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, and Indigo on Tuesday, June 11.
