One of the all-time best and most highly acclaimed graphic novels ever is now, finally, back in print! Dave McKean, famous for Arkham Asylum and his covers for Sandman, presents a highly allegorical tale of the dwellers of an apartment building. Running in parallel lines or tangentially, the differing lives each have their own tale to tell under the magic spin of McKean’s brilliant imagery and story-telling. It’s about a blocked painter, a controversial novelist, and a wise musician. It may be about God, about Jazz, about sex, but also about creativity and artistic fulfillment.
