Media Release -- Stephane Metayer has teamed up with Dark Horse Books to bring his popular self-published comic, Tephlon Funk!, to comic shops! With art by David Tako and Nicolas Safe, this coming-of-age story masterfully weaves together inspiration from 90s NYC street culture, anime, and hip-hop.

"A heavily-buzzed hip-hop/anime style comic from ambitious, globally-minded newcomer Stephane Metayer, who nurtured his idea of a gritty urban crime drama with a science fiction twist for more than a decade while he assembled an international team to help bring it to life."—Forbes
