Sprawl: God’s Lonely Man A Graphic Novel

Inspired by Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, Sprawl 2 continues the successful blend of Felix Cheong’s poetry and Arif Rafhan’s comic book art. It is at once refreshing, cinematic and an entertaining read.

The second book of the Sprawl universe follows the trials and travails of Jack, a nightshift taxi driver. Forced out of his home by a tycoon’s unscrupulous land grab, he retaliates in the only way a former soldier knows how – violence. But with the help of an intrepid reporter, Jack manages to change the rules of the game – with devastating consequences.

Felix Cheong is the author of 23 books. His works have been widely anthologized and nominated for the prestigious Frank O’Connor Award and the Singapore Literature Prize.Conferred the Young Artist Award in 2000 by the National Arts Council, he holds a master’s in creative writing and is currently an adjunct lecturer with the National University of Singapore, Murdoch University, University of Newcastle, and Curtin University.

Arif Rafhan is a Malaysian illustrator and comic artist and runs his neighborhood doodle class at home. He also provides doodle therapy services for corporate clients and government bodies. His online comic #seketulsina is about his children being themselves.
