The Tragical Comedy or Comical Tragedy of Mr. Punch

In this haunting 1994 graphic novel from Victor Gollancz, writer Neil Gaiman and artist Dave McKean explore the unsettling childhood memories of a boy who encounters the dark, violent history lurking behind the cheerful facade of a seaside Punch and Judy show. A single-issue work blending autobiography, folklore, and surreal visual collage, it stands as a powerful early collaboration between two of comics' most acclaimed creators.
