Cyberpunk 2077: Big City Dreams has garnered the esteemed Hugo Award in the category of Best Graphic Story or Comic. This recognition marks a significant milestone as Bartosz Sztybor, responsible for the comic book script and a figure at CD PROJEKT RED, becomes the first Polish writer honored in the extensive history of the Hugo Awards.
In the realm of science fiction and fantasy literature, few accolades are as revered as the Hugo Awards. With its recent triumph in the Best Graphic Story or Comic category, Cyberpunk 2077: Big City Dreams not only cements its prowess in visual storytelling but also carves a historic moment for Polish creatives in the international arena.
Rooted in the vibrant yet perilous Night City from the role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077, this compelling graphic story unravels the lives of Tasha and Mirek. These characters aren’t heroes saving the dystopian world; rather, they are everyday thieves, navigating survival in this unforgiving urban jungle, epitomizing the raw human spirit.
At the narrative helm of Big City Dreams is Bartosz Sztybor. Holding a pivotal role in CD PROJEKT RED, Sztybor’s storytelling finesse extends beyond this publication, contributing significantly to the broader narrative landscapes of both the Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher franchises, and the anticipated Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime series. The comic’s visual journey is brought to life through the artistic lenses of Filipe Andrade and Alessio Fioriniello, enhanced by the colorist expertise of Roman Titov and Krzysztof Ostrowski.
Dark Horse Comics, a prominent figure in the comic publishing world, has facilitated a broader reach for this Hugo-recognized work, offering copies in digital formats and tangible editions for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Further insights into the expansive universe of Cyberpunk 2077, as well as details on its intriguing spy-thriller expansion, Phantom Liberty, are accessible through the game’s official online platforms and social media channels.
Cyberpunk 2077: Big City Dreams is available on Amazon for $11.99 (Kindle) and $17.99 (Hardcopy). It is rated 4.6/5 based on 250 ratings.
