Publisher's Synopsis

Writing back to Rome in 36 AD from Londinium, the illustrator Malus Maximus wrote: "Depravity, plague and licentious debauchery seem to bring out the best in the rude, blunt, thick-skinned Saxon people. There is no shortage of subjects for me to depict." It's Dark in London features a generation of British artists who have developed a rich synthesis of the Continental graphic novel and American comic strips. Including the work of ? Neil Gaiman, David McKean, Alan Moore, Carol Swain, Dix ? in tandem with the stories of London writers like Iain Sinclair, Graeme Gordon, Christoper Petit and Stella Duffy. This fusion produces a portrait of London that captures the city's mixture of lofty towers and gutter sleaze, of suburban gentility and urban depravity, of private vices and public philanthropy. It is a book as graphic as it is visionary.
