Dark Horse proudly presents a new original graphic novel by the legendary artist based on the life of Paul Nash, a surrealist painter during World War 1.<i>The Dreams of Paul Nash </i>deals with real soldier's memoirs, and all the stories will add up to be a moving piece about how war and extreme situations change us, how we deal with that pain, and, in Nash's case, by turning his landscapes into powerful and fantastical psycho-scapes.<br><br>Praise for one of Dave McKean's previous graphic novels, <i>Cages</i>: <br>&quot;One of the most important works of comic art in the last decade.&quot; <i>-The Comics Journal</i><br>&quot;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.&quot;<i>-Comic Foundry Magazine</i><br>&quot;The finest comic being created today. Get it and see what heights narrative graphic art can achieve.&quot;<i> -The Fine Print</i>
