1st printing. Story and art by Brom. World-renowned dark fantasy artist Brom in this illustrated novel intimately combines his dramatic storytelling with his uniquely arresting images, to create a work of striking imagination, a world where fairy-tale tradition collides with vileness and depravity, love and heroism, suffering and sacrifice. A shadowy land of make-believe where Jack and his box are stuck beneath the bed with the dust, spiders, and other castaway toys, forced to face a bitter truth: children grow up and toys are left behind. Jack believes this is the worst that can happen to a toy. But when the Plucker, a malevolent spirit, is set loose upon the world of make-believe and Jack is thrust into the unlikely role of defending Thomas, the very child who abandoned him, he finds out there is worse that can befall a toyfar worse. As desperation mounts, Jack is thrown together with Thomas's other toys Monkey, the Nutcracker, and the ethereally beautiful porcelain doll Snow Angelas they struggle to rise above their simple roles as playthings in an effort to save the boy they love. Softcover, 9 1/2-in. x 12-in., 160 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.
