''Violent Cases'' is a short graphic novel written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Dave McKean. It was McKean's first published work in comics. Though drawn by McKean in shades of blue, brown, and grey, when it was first published by Escape Books in 1987, it was printed in black-and-white. Later editions have been printed in colour. A narrator, who is drawn to look like Gaiman, tells of how, as a small child in Portsmouth, he was taken by his father to be treated by an osteopath who was once employed by Al Capone. The nature of the narrator's relationship with his father, the tales the osteopath told, and the disturbing events that followed, are partially obscured by the narrator's imperfect recall of things he was not old enough to understand at the time. As with many of Gaiman's other works (most notably ''The Sandman'') ''Violent Cases'' is a story about stories, and its themes of early childhood perception and the nature of memory are visited again in 1994's ''Mr. Punch'' (also with Dave McKean). ==External links== * (Edward Carey: ''Examining Gaiman's'' Violent Cases ''with Peter Sanderson'' ) - Comic Book Resources, February 7, 2007. * (Violent Cases ) at ComicBookDB 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Violent Cases」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
