6. The Return of the Dapper Men

An original graphic novel written by Marvel's Jim McCann and drawn by Janet Lee for October 2010 from Archaia.

Long from now in a land called Anorev, there lived, well, to be honest, not many people. There were no adults, only children. Why? That's coming. Patience is something that always needs learning. But it hadn't always been that way. Nor had this always been the name of this place. Some thought the land was named after a book, but there was no way to tell. There were very few books left and those that remained were not used for reading at all but for standing upon, for there was much that was out of reach.

And so begins THE RETURN OF THE DAPPER MEN, a tale of a world in between time, where children have played so long it's almost become work, machines have worked so long they have begun to play, and all the clocks have stopped at the same time. This is how this land has remained, until 314 dapper-looking gentlemen rain down from the sky and set off in different directions to start the world again. Now Ayden, the only boy to still ask questions; Zoe, the robot girl all other machines hold dear; and the Dapper Man known only as "41" must discover what happened that made time stop, understand what their true places are in this world, and learn what "tomorrow" really means. The sun is setting for the first time in memory, and once that happens, everything changes.
