Violent Cases - 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition

Description

Before The Sandman, there was Violent Cases, the first teaming of multi award-winning writer Neil Gaiman and innovative artist Dave McKean. Now, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this seminal work, Violent Cases is being re-issued in a hardcover edition of one of the most influential and ground-breaking graphic novels of all time. A sensitive and ingenious work, Violent Cases reveals the often-murky nexus between memory and imagination through the narrator's cloudy childhood remembrance of a visit to Al Capone's osteopath - and the impact of his seedy stories on an impressionable youth.

Neil Gaiman is the most critically acclaimed comics writer of the 1990s and is the author of numerous books and graphic novels. He is the New York Times #1 best-selling author of American Gods and Anansi Boys, and won critical acclaim for his first feature film, Mirrormask, with long-time collaborator Dave McKean. Dave McKean is one of the most widely acclaimed and highly regarded artists in the field; his work includes covers for the Sandman series, Violent Cases, Signal to Noise and Mr. Punch.
