Death goes on a labor strike, creating a hellscape where everyone fights, but no one dies. Can the spirit of Life stop this terror with the power of love?Includes designs from the original opera, historical essays, photographs, and more.One of New York Public Library's Top 10 Comics and Graphic Novels of 2024!“Maass’s playful script, with its pitch-black humor and fiendish turns of phrase, honors the original opera... This parable captures the defiant spirit of artists.”—Publishers Weekly Read more
