The solo debut of an acknowledged master...
Finally, after years of critically acclaimed collaborations with comics legends such as Neil Gaiman (Sandman) and Grant Morrison (Batman: Arkham Asylum), Dave McKean, widely acknowledged as one of the most talented artists in the comics world, presents Cages. The engaging story of an artistic ‘household’, including: our protagonist, Sabarksy, a painter searching for inspiration in solitude; Angel, a jazz pianist; and a host of other fascinating inhabitants, McKean’s work is a conglomeration of character studies, beautiful artwork across a dazzling range of styles, and an exploration of the artistic process itself, coming together in a moving and thoughtful meditation which will thrill, inspire and captivate you.
