Black Orchid Deluxe Edition HC

Black Orchid - Dave McKean, Neil Gaiman I mold breaker two decades ago that is easily overlooked now that there are so many other GNs that have gone farther. Still reliant on some of the stock DC characters that could later be shed completely as GNs matured into real novels of their own.This new edition is just beautiful. Unlike other books, I think of current Fables or even early Sandman, the artwork also breaks out of the comic book conventions to perfectly complement the story.I still think the story is wonderful, top notch even today, and of course McKean's painted artwork is unparalleled.
