Adapted from Neil Gaiman’s novel, this early arc introduces Richard Mayhew, who slips into London Below after helping a wounded girl named Door. He soon discovers a world teeming with angels, assassins, and talking rats. Mike Carey’s script stays true to Gaiman’s tone—dark, wondrous, and biting—while Glenn Fabry’s rich illustrations ground the fantasy in gritty, lived-in textures. These first three issues establish the rules of an alternate reality where the forgotten and discarded build their own myths beneath the city. A haunting urban fantasy rooted in displacement and transformation.
