DULL MARGARET - Fantagraphics - May 2018

A dark tale of greed, loneliness and selfishness. 

Artist Dix teams up with actor Jim Broadbent to tell the story of one of the most singular characters ever depicted in graphic novels: the inimitable Dull Margaret. 

Loosely inspired by Dulle Griet, the 16th century painting by Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Dull Margaret also draws inspiration from Goya's witches and Daumier's depictions of roving players to paint its own rich portrait of a damaged soul navigating an unsparing world. Anchored by a sharp, black humour, Dull Margaret is a wildly original graphic novel for the ages. 

Praise for DULL MARGARET:

'Dull Margaret is a powerful read that’s open enough to take multiple interpretations, with the space to grow over several rereadings. If you enjoy dark, literary graphic novels, Dix and Broadbent have dished up a treat. — Grovel

'Greed is unquenchable in this bleak meditation on vengeance and desire by Dix and Academy Award–winning actor Jim Broadbent. ... The ruthless, brutal Margaret proves a satisfying antiheroine for this vicious morality play.' — Publishers Weekly

'Enticing and loathly, this sorry soggy fable abounds with rich mordant humour and powerfully seductive sentiment, all compellingly realised by DIX’s muted palette and amorphous, soft-edged designs.' — Now Read This
