Inhaltsangabe

In the British Comic Award-winning The Motherless Oven, Scarper Lee asked: "Who the hell is Vera Pike?"

In the second part of Rob Davis' trilogy, we get a chance to find out. This is Vera's story. Grave Acre is a cruel world of opportunity and control. Vera's mother is the Weather Clock, the omnipotent and megalomaniacal Prime Minister of Chance. Her father is a can opener.

Charting Vera's unsettling childhood, the book takes us from her home in Parliament to suicide school, and from the Bear Park to the black woods that lie beyond.

In the present day, Vera and Castro Smith are determined to see their friend Scarper again - but is he still alive? And if so, can they save him? Can anyone outlive their deathday? Both a sequel and a darkly inventive standalone graphic novel, The Can Opener's Daughter answers many of the questions posed in The Motherless Oven, while asking plenty more of its own.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Vera’s mother is the Weather Clock; she presides over the satellite town of Head Acre, which hovers a few hundred feet above Bear Park. Her father is a can opener; he spends most of his time in Vera’s pocket. The Acre is a cruel and oppressive place, shaped by the dictatorship of Vera’s omnipotent, megalomaniac mother: the Prime Minister of Weather and Chance. No wonder Vera fled.

Stranded in the dark wood beyond Bear Park’s boundary fence, the teenage Vera Pike again finds herself looking for an escape route. At the police station, her friend Scarper Lee is in a pickle jar, alive for now, but only until tomorrow: his deathday. Vera hatches a plan. But with the help of Castro Smith, can she save Scarper from his certain fate? The Can Opener’s Daughter is a dark and inventive coming-of-age tale, both a companion piece to Davis’s Eisner-nominated The Motherless Oven and an impressive standalone graphic novel.
