It's not about where we're going but how – if – we get there. The Cage spurns narrative for atmosphere, guiding us through a series of disarrayed rooms and desolate landscapes, tracking a stuttering and circling time and a sequence of objects: headphones, inky stains, bedsheets. Considered an early masterpiece of the genre, the Canadian cult comic has been out of print for decades. "It is a masterpiece, demonstrating a level of skill and insight very few have even aspired to in the nearly 40 years since its initial publication … this work is strongly recommended for every true fan of the graphic arts."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)įirst published in 1975, The Cage was a graphic novel before there was a name for the genre. "Vaughn-James remains a significant figure in comics history because his work was singular, literate, experimental, and often unsurpassably good."- The Walrus I think The Cage is a masterpiece of comic art."- Seth "I don't use the word 'masterpiece' lightly.
