A woman arrives at an apartment, but her partner can’t get away from work. She is disappointed and settles in for a night alone, but finds a film projector with a reel of film loaded. The film is scratched and blurry, but she can make out a couple making love. When the film burns out, a door is revealed which leads to a misty town square... and a series of fantastical sexual encounters.But the plot doesn’t really matter. Celluloid is a rare instance (especially among Anglo-Saxons) of a top-flight cartoonist working within erotic — even pornographic, to embrace the word — parameters, with the intent of creating a genuine work of art.As the artist says: “There are so many comics about violence. I’m not entertained or amused by violence, and I’d rather not have it in my life. Sex, on the other hand, is something the vast majority of us enjoy, yet it rarely seems to be the subject of comics. Pornography is usually bland, repetitive and ugly, and, at most, ‘does the job’. I always wanted to make a book that is pornographic, but is also, I hope, beautiful, and mysterious, and engages the mind.”Bringing to bear the astonishing range of illustrative and storytelling skills that have served him so well on his collaborations with Neil Gaiman and such solo projects as the (recently re-released) epic graphic novel Cages, Dave McKean forges into new territory with this unique work of erotica.

Komiksový román, který spíše připomíná ohňostroj vizuální imaginace. Dravec přeskakuje mezi dvěma světy a dvěma podivnými osudy: zatímco Sokol se toulá po podivné staré krajině a loví netvory pro toho, kdo zaplatí nejvíc, Arthur, autor nadpřirozených příběhů žijící ve Walesu devatenáctého století, oplakává ztrátu manželky a zkouší magické rituály v marné naději, že ji znovu uvidí. Oba existují kdesi v šeru mezi pravdou a lží, životem a smrtí, realitou a fantazií.

Ein visuelles Meisterwerk auf den Schwingen eines Raubvogels Der Raptor Sokol schwebt zwischen zwei Welten hin und her – ein stetes Flackern zwischen zwei Zuständen der Existenz: Mensch und Falke. Als Raubvogel muss er sich in einem feudalen, wundersamen Land als geschickter Jäger erweisen, um zu überleben. In seiner menschlichen Gestalt wandelt er durch das Wales des 19. Jahrhunderts und betrauert hier als Schriftsteller übernatürlicher Erzählungen den Tod seiner jungen Frau. Sokol führt ein Leben in der Dämmerung – zwischen Wahrheit und Lüge, Leben und Tod, Realität und Fantasie. Künstler und Autor Dave McKean (Black Dog, The Sandman) liefert mit RAPTOR einem weiteren Creator-Owned-Comic nach CAGES aus den späten 90ern. Der Gewinner des World Fantasy-, Harvey-, British Science Fiction Association- und V+A Book Award Dave besticht mit der gekonnten Fusion aus ätherischer Story und unnachahmlichem Artwork visueller Meisterklasse.
