Dragman – Steven Appleby

£18.99

Mae Dragman yn rhannu hanes August Crimp, dyn sydd ag archbwerau pan fydd yn gwisgo dillad menywod. Yn y nofel graffeg hon, mae August yn brwydro barusrwydd, malais a hunan-amheuaeth wrth ceisio achub ei hun, ei briodas – a’r enaid dynol.


Dragman tells the story of August Crimp, a man who has superpowers when he puts on women’s clothes. August loves wearing a dress but is deeply ashamed of his compulsion and terrified of rejection should it ever come out. So he tells no one. Not even his wife. But then one day a little girl falls from the rooftop cafe at the Art Museum and August has no choice but to fly and save her – an event witnessed by hundreds of people. And August Crimp’s life is never the same again. Dragman is Steven Appleby’s first long-form graphic thriller. Inspired by the superhero comics he read as a child and informed by his own secret life as a transvestite, Steven Appleby has created a multi-layered, tightly plotted, cleverly structured novel with a compulsive forward drive in which August battles greed, evil and his own self-doubt in a fight to save himself, his marriage – and the human soul. A real page-turner, Dragman brims with humanity, subtlety and wit – plus plenty of Steven Appleby’s oblique and absurdly imaginative musings on ‘what is life really all about?’
