Ram V, Anand Radhakrishnan, and Evan Cagle Sign a Groundbreaking Global Six-Figure Book Deal with French Publisher Morgen

Multi-award-winning creators Ram V, Anand Radhakrishnan (RK), and Evan Cagle are teaming up with newly launched French publisher Morgen for a brand new Graphic Novel series, which will be published in multiple volumes over three years. In a groundbreaking six-figure deal, Morgen has acquired worldwide rights to publish the series globally. Alongside writing by V, art by Radhakrishnan and Cagle, the series will be lettered by Aditya Bidikar and edited by Eric Harburn. Image Comics will be the publishing partner for English Language territories.

V, who was nominated for the “Best Writer” Award at the prestigious San Diego Comic-Con International Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards in 2025, is known for his prolific comic book writing, with his psychologically-driven and genre-spanning titles often touching on deep existential themes of death, rebirth, and belief. V is particularly known for critically acclaimed and Eisner Award-winning and nominated titles such as The One Hand and The Six Fingers, Rare Flavours, and The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, as well as Blue in Green with Radhakrishnan and Dawnrunner with Cagle. V is also popular for his work on DC titles such as The New Gods with Cagle, Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma with Radhakrishnan, and Swamp Thing.

Radhakrishnan is an award-winning artist and illustrator with a fine art background, whose attention to detail and loose energetic inking results in a stunningly unique, organic and dynamic style. He has collaborated with V on many projects, including Grafity’s Wall, Radio Apocalypse and Batman: Urban Legends. Alongside his interior artwork, he is an accomplished cover artist, creating works for DC, BOOM! Studios, and Image Comics on titles such as The Deviant, The Department of Truth, The Nice House on the Lake, Swamp Thing, and more.

A former animator and art director of video games, animation, film and TV, Cagle has amassed accolades from peers and fans for his unique, highly-detailed blend of classical illustration and cross-cultural visual storytelling. He is known for his award-winning cover artwork for titles such as Dune: House Atreides, Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Chosen Ones (for which he won the ASFA Chesley), The Witcher, and Stranger Things, and his iconic Eisner Award-nominated cover art work for Detective Comics during V’s run on the legendary series. 

More details will be released soon about the upcoming book series.
