Publisher's Synopsis
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 in full-colour a highly allegorical tale of the dwellers of an apartment building, whose mysteriously intertwined lives unfold through brilliant imagery and masterful story-telling. It's about a blocked painter, a controversial novelist and a wise musician, but it's also about God, jazz, sex and artistic fulfillment. A seminal work that proved how thought-provoking comic art can be.
