First published in 1975; The Cage was a graphic novel before there was a name for the genre. Considered an early masterpiece of the genre; the Canadian cult comic has been out of print for decades. The new edition includes an introduction by Canadian comics master and Lemony Snicket collaborator Seth (Palookaville; Its a Good Life; If You Dont Weaken).Cryptic and disturbing; like Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) illustrating a film by Ozu; The Cage spurns narrative for atmosphere; guiding us through a series of disarrayed rooms and desolate landscapes; tracking a stuttering and circling time and a sequence of objects: headphones; inky stains; bedsheets. Its not about where were going but how ndash; if ndash; we get there.
