Black Rat

"This aesthetically varied collection of nine graphic short stories is loosely linked by the recurring appearance of a black rat. Black Rat is the sleeper in the shadow, the wanderer in the woods. He walks between worlds and travels through time - slaying monsters, solving mysteries, and philosophizing with his fists amidst a barrage of butchered quotes and borrowed styles in a series of seemingly disparate, sometimes violently visceral vignettes."
