Summary
It’s been ten years since the nine lives of Burma the cat captivated audiences—return to the world of the Eisner-nominated I Was the Cat with this special anniversary edition!
Allison Breaking is a talented journalist, but even talented journalists have bills to pay. When the offer of a lifetime comes across her desk to interview a mysterious stranger named Burma and write his memoirs, Allison can’t say no. But what’s she to do when she discovers that Burma isn’t a man at all . . . but a cat! A cat with stories to tell about how he used his nine lives to shape the world—from movie sets to the filthy streets of seventeenth-century London and all manner of mischief in between.
But beneath the feline grace and glamor, Allison just might begin to uncover another, darker story. Will she risk it all to uncover the truth of Burma’s last—and maybe most important—life? The Eisner Award–nominated team of writer Paul Tobin and artist Benjamin Dewey invites you back to the strange and wonderful world of I Was the Cat to find out!
