A visual tour-de-force graphic novel from artist and writer Dave McKean (Black Dog, The Sandman).

A visual tour-de-force graphic novel from artist and writer Dave McKean (Black Dog, The Sandman).

The Raptor, Sokol, flickers between two worlds: a feudal fantastical landscape where he must hunt prey to survive, and Wales in the late 1800s where a writer of supernatural tales mourns the passing of his young wife. He exists between two states, the human and the hawk. He lives in the twilight between truth and lies, life and death, reality and the imagination.

World Fantasy, Harvey, British Science Fiction Association, and V+A Book Award winner Dave McKean's first creator-owned character is a wandering spirit for our times.

Praise for Raptor: A Sokol Graphic Novel

On his previous original graphic novel Cages:

"One of the most important works of comic art in the last decade."--The Comics Journal

"It is compulsively readable, with a lyrical tone that moves the reader through the rougher, more elusive passages as it strives at the very edge of the form's limitation."--Comic Foundry Magazine

"The finest comic being created today. Get it and see what heights narrative graphic art can achieve."--The Fine Print
