Fans of ’90s hip hop and anime shouldn’t miss Stephane Metayer’s indie graphic novel Tephlon Funk. Recently released by Dark Horse, the book centers on four individuals, all from different walks of life, who are somehow connected. Metayer recently published art books for the series as well as a vinyl release for the soundtrack with Fat Jon (Samurai Champloo) in November.

It’s heavily inspired by both Hip-Hop & Anime. The words Tephlon Funk® means to be strong and stand out. We really wanted to make a great, authentic and unique story about New York City in the mid ’90s. Something that many fans have always wanted to see and we believe that we could make it happen.
A big love letter to all the 5 Boroughs. The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. This is more than just a series, it’s a cultural movement. Here at tephlonfunk.com you’ll discover incredible comics, artwork, music and exclusive merchandise. We’d like to thank everyone for all of the continued support and hope you enjoy it.
Includes over 150 pages of original art by David Tako, Nicolas Safe, Stephane Metayer along with various artists over the years. We’re 100% creator-owned.
