Violent Cases the Colour Edition

Originally published in 1991 by Titan, Violent Cases the Colour Edition is a single-issue comic that presents Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean’s early collaboration in a newly colored format. A haunting, atmospheric story that blurs memory and reality, it follows a man recalling his childhood visits to an elderly osteopath who once worked for Al Capone. This edition showcases McKean’s pioneering mixed-media art, which would become a hallmark of his and Gaiman’s later work together. It stands as a key early example of the duo’s ability to weave lyrical, unsettling narratives in the comic medium.
