Here, a host of unlikely characters -- time-travelling David Bowie, Rasputin, Nosferatu, Marlene Dietrich, and more -- are all connected by a group of Dadaists who perform the art of rationality through madness. In \"The Magritte Affair,\" a wisecracking pair of detectives must crack a case involving art forgeries, masked men, and mysterious disappearances -- all linked to the surrealist world of the famous Belgian painter. Finally, in \"Sweet Dreams,\" Jason reimagines the New Romantics of the 1980s as \u003cem\u003eX-Men\u003c\/em\u003e-esque superheroes. While this supergroup easily dispatches such supernatural threats as living mummies, animated suits of armor, and rampaging golems, they soon face their biggest challenge yet, as a giant meteorite hurtles toward the Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46288906551447,"sku":"9798875001253","price":1880.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798875001253.webp?v=1769302039","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/death-in-trieste-9798875001253","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
