In his grandmother’s failing seaside arcade, a young boy encounters a mysterious Punch and Judy Man with a dark past, and a woman who makes her living playing a mermaid.
As their lives intertwine and their stories unfold, the boy is forced to confront family secrets, strange puppets and a nightmarish world of violence and betrayal in a dark fable of childhood innocence and adult pain.
Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean’s elegiac masterpiece is presented here in a newly remastered hardcover edition featuring a special 16-page section of never-before-reprinted preliminary and promotional artwork.

Review:
"Based in part on his own childhood memories, "Mr. Punch" is Gaiman's most personal comics work and arguably McKean's greatest illustrative achievement (at least on paper), combining line art, photography, design and other disciplines to create the deeply idiosyncratic 96-page graphic novel about a man's fractured recollections of a boyhood summer spent at a seedy seaside arcade."--Comic Book Resources
