Return of the Dapper Men

"The writing is lyrical and reads like a
forgotten fairy tale. The artwork is often stunning, with a texture and depth."
- New York Times

"It's an instant
classic, combining steampunk, science fiction, and fantasy with an impeccable
fashion sense." - USA Today

"The
lush artwork is easy to get lost in, and the fantastical setting and atmosphere
create a unique background for a timeless parable about time." - Publisher's
Weekly (Starred)

The Eisner
Award-winning "Best Original Graphic Novel" is back and bigger than ever, and in
trade paperback for the first time! Welcome to Anorev, a land that has no
concept or understanding of time because time itself has ceased to exist. A
world where children have never grown up, machines have forgotten if they were
built by humans or if they built humans themselves, and all clocks have been
stopped at the same time since time itself stopped. This has been the way of
things for longer than anyone can remember, until 314 dapper-looking gentlemen
rain down from the sky to start the world anew. Now Ayden, the only boy to still
ask questions; Zoe, the robot girl all other machines hold dear; and the Dapper
Man known only as "41" must repair whatever it was that caused time to stop,
understand their true place in this world, and learn what "tomorrow" really
means. But destiny is not always easy and choices must be made that will decide
the fate of this land. The sun is setting for the first time in memory, and once
that happens, everything changes!
