swingbeat: 4.1/26 Violent Cases by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean



OK, this is a ".1" because it's really a short graphic novel. It's a tale of a young boy's experiences with Al Capone's osteopath. I know, kinda random, but pretty good. The artwork was grey and dreary, somewhat dreamlike/foggy (it's supposed to be a man's memories of his experiences as a kid), and for some reason it made an impression on me, since when I woke up in the middle of the night, I felt fearful, as if I were in the graphic novel itself. I know, scary huh? :)



BTW the title is a kid's recollection of "violin cases" - that is, what Capone's men used to hold their tommy guns.
