Description

Page 71 of Dave McKean's and Neil Gaiman's seminal work, published 1994.
Height x width: About 59 cm x 42 cm (or 23,2" x 16,5").

Mr. Punch was ... well, new. A graphic novel. I started off with the German publication, and still this work was complex, with bits that I kind-of got immediately (the more "realistic" the scene was), and throwing me into a bowl of questions trying figure out what actually happened. (And yes, that was not the perfect approach to this magical thing).

And I love me the analog work. Putting this page next to the published work gave me (yet again) a greater appreciation of McKean's process.

Many, many thanks for Marc Mokken, who allowed me a decade to realize what a treasure was still there waiting for me.
