About this Collection

This collection brings together two early works by Grant Morrison from the 1990s: Sebastian O, a three-issue miniseries originally published by DC's Vertigo imprint, following a flamboyant, Oscar Wilde-like assassin in a surreal, retro-futuristic world, and Mystery Play, a graphic novel originally from Vertigo that blends a murder mystery with metaphysical and religious themes. Both stories showcase Morrison's signature blend of literary allusion, dark humor, and genre deconstruction. The volume was released by DC in 2017 as a single hardcover or trade paperback edition.

In an alternate 1890s London where steam and early computing blur the line between science and magic, Sebastian O flees a madhouse with one purpose: to hunt down those who betrayed him. Written by Grant Morrison and brought to life with eerie precision by Steve Yeowell, this haunting tale unfolds in "The Yellow Book," a story where every shadow might be watching—and every page could be a trap. The cover, a collaborative effort by Yeowell and Jon J. Muth, captures the story’s unsettling elegance in ink and shadow.
