“Die tragische Komoedie oder komische Tragoedie des Mr. Punch”

In "Die tragische Komoedie oder komische Tragoedie des Mr. Punch," a summer at his grandfather’s seaside arcade takes a strange turn when a troubled teen stumbles into the world of a mysterious Punch and Judy performer and a woman who plays a mermaid. Written by Neil Gaiman and Frank Neubauer, and brought to life with haunting, layered art by Dave McKean—pencils, inks, and colors alike—the story unfolds like a dream caught between memory and myth, where puppetry, past trauma, and hidden truths blur into something deeply unsettling. The cover, also by McKean, captures the eerie, theatrical mood of a tale that lingers long after the final page.
