KENK is an award-winning 300-page journalistic comic book surrounding Igor Kenk, the worlds most prolific bicyclethief (The New York Times, The Guardian). In the summer of 2008, Kenk was arrested and nearly 3,000 bicycles were seized in what became one of the biggest news stories of the year. Built from an incredible mix of found footage, archival material, and filmed interviews taken over the year leading right up to his arrest, KENK is a thought-provoking andsurprisingly funny journalistic profile of an outsize neighborhood figure and a city in flux that follows in the tradition of New Yorker masters Joseph Mitchell and A.J. Liebling. Named a Best Book of the Year by Quill & Quire, Canada's top literary magazine.
