Dragman #[nn]

A caped figure stands triumphant atop a soaring cathedral spire, silhouetted against a dramatic, stormy sky rendered in loose, expressive watercolors — Steven Appleby's art gives the whole scene a wonderfully hand-crafted, storybook warmth. Dragman is Appleby's 2020 graphic novel from Denoël Graphic, presenting a superhero unlike any other: one whose powers are tied to wearing women's clothing. Posy Simmonds herself is quoted on the cover singing its praises, and it's easy to see why this quietly extraordinary book earned such enthusiasm.
