Black Orchid

by Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean
Black Orchid
Black Orchid

Surreal, dark botanical superhero reinvention.

Neil Gaiman's "Black Orchid" isn't your typical superhero tale. If you're drawn to the fantastical and the gothic, enveloped in rich storytelling and vivid artwork, this graphic novel series will captivate your imagination. Gaiman redefines the boundaries of the genre, blending drama, mystery, and a profound narrative on nature and humanity. It's a must-read if you're looking to experience a different kind of heroism that's as thought-provoking as it is visually stunning.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Before introducing the modern version of The Sandman, Neil Gaiman wrote this dark tale that reinvented a strange DC Comics super hero in the Vertigo mold. Featuring spectacular art by Gaiman's frequent collaborator, Dave McKean, Black Orchid is now collected in a deluxe trade paperback. After being viciously murdered, Susan Linden is reborn fully grown as the Black Orchid, a hybrid of plant and human, destined to avenge her own death. Now, as this demigoddess attempts to reconcile human memory and botanical origins, she must untangle the webs of deception and secrets that led to her death. Beginning in the cold streets of a heartless metropolis and ending in the Amazon rainforest, this book takes the reader on a journey through secrets, suffering and self-rediscovery.
