Before The Sandman, there was Violent Cases, the first teaming of multi
award-winning writer Neil Gaiman and innovative artist Dave McKean. Now,
to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this seminal work, Violent Cases is
being re-issued in a hardcover edition of one of the most influential
and groundbreaking graphic novels of all time. A sensitive and ingenious
work, Violent Cases reveals the often murky nexus between memory and
imagination through the narrator's cloudy childhood remembrance of a
visit to Al Capone's osteopath -- and the impact of his seedy stories on
an impressionable youth.
