Written, drawn and coloured by Brendan McCarthy, the co-writer/designer of the motion picture Mad Max: Fury Road (Kennedy Miller Productions, 2015), artist and co-creator of The Best of Milligan and McCarthy, contributor to Dark Horse Presents and 2000 AD, and writer/artist of DC Comics' Solo and Marvel's Spider-Man: Fever! There's a war on for your mind and it's a nightmare - in Brendan McCarthy's astonishing new graphic novel Dream Gang.
"A fever dream of a tale that is gorgeous in its roughness and, like real dreams, leaves the reader guessing as to what the next step is in the story being told." -Comic Book Resources
Brendan McCarthy is one of the UK's most gifted graphic novelists. His ground-breaking comics of the early 80s (Strange Days, Skin, Rogan Gosh) as part of 'The British Invasion' paved the way for comics' increasing popularity in Hollywood. He was also one of the pioneers of computer animation, creating the visuals for the 90's computer animated TV series ReBoot, the first long-form digital narrative that preceded Pixar and Dreamworks' later successes. He has spent more than 20 years working in Hollywood, and is the co-writer and a designer on Mad Max Fury Road. More recently, Brendan has created new graphic novels including Spider-Man Fever (for Marvel), Solo (for DC Comics) and Swimini Purpose, The Zaucer of Zilk, and Dream Gang for independent US publishers. A best-selling retrospective collection of his classic comic book work was released last year, The Best of Milligan & McCarthy. The author lives in Ennis, Ireland, UK.
