Book Description
Using his astonishing illustrative skills, Dave McKean creates a world of his own, and then tells stories from it in his own distinctly skewed style. In The Coast Road', a desperate wife searches for her husband, whose ghostly image keeps appearing in mysterious and unexpected ways; 'Black Holes' tells the true story of the tragic consequences of medical malpractice in a Chinese village. Deftly balancing tragedy and humour, McKean's imagination is once again allowed to run riot via the medium of his drawings, paintings, photographs and digital creations.'

Book Description
McKean uses mixed media to take readers on a journey unlike any other: "The Coast Road" follows a desperate wife trying to find her missing husband, whose ghostly image appears in unexpected ways. "Black Holes," written by an anonymous journalist, concerns the politically sensitive true story of Chinese villagers induced by the government to sell their blood, only to be infected with AIDS through poor medical practice. Tales of sadness and humor, insightful travelogues, and diary entries fill the pages of McKean's latest masterful achievement. Winner of the Victoria and Albert Museum Illustrated Book of the Year award.

Book Description
New edition with bonus material by Dave McKean! Dark Horse proudly presents a new, second edition, of the graphic novel by legendary artist Dave McKean, based on the life of Paul Nash, a surrealist painter during World War 1. The Dreams of Paul Nash deals with real soldier's memoirs and all the stories add up to a moving piece about how war and extreme situations change us, how we deal with that pain, and, in Nash's case, how he responded by turning his landscapes into powerful and fantastical psychoscapes. The second edition of Black Dog: The Dreams of Paul Nash features a new cover by Dave McKean, along with 15 pages of new bonus material examining the creation of the book.
