It follows a Cooper’s daughter in a village on the brink of a bizarre, grotesque miracle—where excrement rains down as gold, and her fate hangs in the balance. The cover, also by Joe Sacco, captures the story’s darkly whimsical tone with its stark, detailed imagery.
In this Brueghel-inspired satire from Yahoo #1, a young woman named Cooper's Daughter faces a fiery fate—until the entire village inexplicably begins defecating gold and jewels, turning her execution into a chaotic spectacle. With John, Gwin, Friar, The Cooper, Bishop, and a Young Tot caught in the absurd upheaval, the line between punishment and prosperity blurs in a story that’s equal parts dark humor and social parody.
