Cages - Tapa dura

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.

Dave McKean is best known for his regular collaboration with Neil Gaiman, during which he has created covers for every single issue and one-shot of Sandman, (now collected as Titan's The Sandman: Dustcovers), Violent Cases, Signal to Noise, Black Orchid and Mr. Punch. Also celebrated for his work with Grant Morrison on the classic Batman: Arkham Asylum, Cages represents McKean's first major solo work.
