Here- a host of unlikely characters — time-travelling David Bowie- Rasputin- Nosferatu- Marlene Dietrich- and more — are all connected by a group of Dadaists who perform the art of rationality through madness. In “The Magritte Affair-” a wisecracking pair of detectives must crack a case involving art forgeries- masked men- and mysterious disappearances — all linked to the surrealist world of the famous Belgian painter. Finally- in “Sweet Dreams-” Jason reimagines the New Wave artists of the 1980s as X-Men-esque superheroes. While this supergroup easily dispatches such supernatural threats as living mummies- animated suits of armor- and rampaging golems- they soon face their biggest challenge yet- as a giant meteorite hurtles toward the Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FANTAGRAPHICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41833413476414,"sku":"0725FB555","price":22.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2059\/7683\/files\/159358-hr.jpg?v=1751595545","url":"https:\/\/goldenapplecomics.com\/products\/0725fb555","provider":"Golden Apple Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
