DAVE MCKEAN CAGES TP CAGES

Dave McKean (W/A)

Dave McKean's Cages is finally back in print!

Best known for his collaborations with Neil Gaiman, McKean defied expectations with his stunning debut as writer and artist with Cages, the winner of multiple awards for Best Graphic Album.

Filled with complex characters, intriguing flights of fancy, and all the beautiful visuals you'd expect from the director of MirrorMask, Cages is McKean's magnum opus. It chronicles the intersecting lives of a painter, a writer, and a musician living in the same apartment building, and is a profound rumination on art, God, cats, and the cages we build for ourselves.

Out of print for years, Cages is finally available in an affordable new softcover edition, remastered and newly redesigned, with a brand-new cover by McKean.
