Born in Maidenhead, (b. 1963, UK), Dave McKean is one of the leading comic authors active today. Not only does he excel in the graphic side of the medium, designing virtuoso mixed media images, but also he has many fine stories to tell. The turning point in McKean's career is the hefty 500-page comic 'Cages', in which he elaborated his views on art, life and recipes for ratatouille. Hungry to prove himself, he showed off his baroque painting techniques in the eco-thriller 'Black Orchid' and the Batman comic 'Arkham Asylum' to immediate effect: both books proved to be instant best-sellers. Best-known are his legendary covers for the 'Sandman' comics, written by his friend Neil Gaiman. After the completion of this best-selling fantasy series, McKean's covers, digitally manipulated images of painting with scraps of ripped-up lace and over-exposed photographs, were collected in the volume 'Sandman Dust Covers'.
