Dirk Gently: The Interconnectedness of All Kings—CERTIFIED COOL
Written by Chris Ryall
Art by Tony Akins and Ilias Kyriazis
Cover by Tony Akins
After writing all the many and conflicting versions of the legendary Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, beloved author Douglas Adams created Dirk Gently: a detective with a belief in the fundamental interconnectedness of all things, a unique relationship with the laws of probability and physics, and a love of cats and pizza.
In his first-ever comic series, Dirk has been forced to leave his beloved England behind, coming to the too-sunny, too-cheery, and altogether too-bizaarre-even-for-Dirk city of San Diego, California, where he gets embroiled in three separate (or are they?) cases involving reincarnated Egyptians, golden cell phones, and copycat killers. All this in a new town seemingly incapable of making even a single proper cup of tea.
Bullet points:
“Genuinely funny, amazingly punny. Good detective-ish stuff. If you like your Adams and feel that two novels about Dirk Gently wasn’t enough, this is the place to go.” –TalkingComicBooks.com
