Description

Written by Gaiman; Art by McKean

A dark and frightening fully painted novella, MR. PUNCH tells the tale of a young boy's loss of innocence results from a horrific confrontation with his past. Spending a summer at his grandfather's seaside arcade, a troubled adolescent harmlessly becomes involved with a mysterious Punch and Judy Man and a mermaid-portraying woman. But when the violent puppet show triggers buried memories of the boy's family, the lives of all become feverishly intertwined. With disturbing mysteries and half-truths uncontrollably unraveling, the young boy is forced to deal with his family's dark secrets of violence, betrayal, and guilt.

thanks mario! even in my opinion it's a very nice moment in "Mr. Punch" history and also one of the pages of my little gallery to which I'm more romantically attached! despite this, it hasn't received large credit here... we are strange people...
