Violent Cases

A haunting, atmospheric one-shot from Zenda, Violent Cases pairs writer Neil Gaiman with artist Dave McKean in an early collaboration that predates their landmark Sandman covers. The story unfolds through a man's memory of a childhood visit to an osteopath who once worked for Al Capone, blurring the lines between truth, violence, and the stories we tell ourselves. Originally published in French with a translation by Michel Pagel, this moody, painted graphic novel remains a quietly essential piece of Gaiman and McKean's shared creative history.
