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 the 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 the world,and learn what "tomorrow" really means.But destiny is not always easy and choices must be made that will decide he fate of this land.The sun is setting for the first time in memory,and once that happens,everything changes! A visual tour de force,'Return of the Dapper men' is the debut graphic novel from the minds of award-winning Jim McCann (Hawkeye & Mockingbird) and critically acclaimed gallery artist Janet Lee.A modern twist on classic fairy tales,this is a story about growing up,childhood fears,and examining the origins of a world and the things that inhabit it.The incredible decoupage art style combines steampunk fantasy and science fiction with Art Nouveau for a truly unique and ground-breaking bool,all sharply dressed in a pin-stripe suit and a dapper bowler hat.
