Publisher Description. The case is almost open. Mad Cave Studios, in partnership with King Features Syndicate, reveals a first look at Rip Kirby #1, the all-new series bringing one of comics’ most influential detectives back to the page this November.
Written by two-time Eisner Award nominee Christopher Sebela (High Crimes, Dead Letters), illustrated by Tango (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Archie Horror), colored by KJ Diaz, and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry, Rip Kirby delivers a fresh mystery built on one of comics’ most enduring foundations.
War hero. Star athlete. Brilliant scientist. Savvy private investigator. Rip Kirby’s reputation is long secured, and these days he’s enjoying the post-war boom of New York City. With gorgeous and quick-witted Honey Dorian at his side and reformed criminal valet Desmond running the show, it’s a perfect life and perfectly balanced. It’s been perfect for what seems like forever… But Rip’s world is about to get complicated, and his unflappably decent ways are newly tested. Up against a world that seems to be growing too fast, can an upstanding man of morals and fair play like Rip remain himself, or will he be swallowed up by the ugliness?
The debut issue by Sebela and Tango goes on sale November 4, 2026.
