A fantastical, wordless voyage through subterranean mazes
A rat darts across the opening pages, into a hole, and down a long tunnel, stopping under a hammock. A mole man stretches and wakes up, leading the rat and the reader deeper into the tunnel. What follows is a series of dreamlike sequences, each stranger than the last.
Brian Ralph, author of the New York Times Graphic Novel Bestseller and American Library Association/YALSA "Great Graphic Novel for Teens" Daybreak, was a founding member of the influential Providence, Rhode Island, Fort Thunder art collective, which was renowned for the way its members' work intermingled lowbrow and highbrow art forms-drawing inspiration from comics, video and role-playing games, and contemporary art. Fort Thunder created the alternative adventure comic and the comic book as artist's book. Cave~In was seen as the first example of this new approach.
