Black Dog: The Dreams of Paul Nash

In 2016, Dark Horse published Black Dog: The Dreams of Paul Nash, a single-issue graphic novel by Dave McKean, who wrote and illustrated the entire work. The book explores the inner life of the British surrealist painter Paul Nash, weaving his experiences in the trenches of World War I with his haunting, dreamlike landscapes. McKean’s signature blend of painting, photography, and digital collage creates a powerful, visual meditation on trauma and creativity. It stands as a distinctive, deeply personal work from one of comics' most innovative artists.
