One morning, travelling salesman Gregor Samsa wakes to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. Out of these implausible beginnings, Franz Kafka crafts the most disquieting work of the twentieth century; not a work of fantasy but one of profound human alienation, written in prose that is calm, precise, and merciless. That jointure of the absurd and the abject has come to shape our very language: 'Kafkaesque' is, today, shorthand for the impenetrable machinery of modern life that traps within it the very figures it is designed to protect. Qomix Classics gives delirious, psychedelic form to Kafka's genius for the grotesque and the banal in this spectacular graphic edition. Rooms contract and expand, bodies distort, Gregor's claustrophobic anxiety weighs on every page.
