Obviously, the answer's 'No, probably not'. Like you said, he's a master, and we're just starting out. As I've said in a few places, we came up with the title about 2 and a half years ago. We both knew very little about comics at that stage, and we didn't know there was another Cages book out there. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen it for sale in Australia. We considered changing the title several times, but there didn't seem to be much point. Ours is a sci-fi thriller; his is more psychological. Ours is a UK/Aus book; McKean is American. The story and art -- cover and interior -- are nothing alike. I don't think anyone's going to get them confused. Anyway, thanks for your interest. -Xander Good question, Ken.

Obviously, if it's better, you're in the clear. Is it better than Dave McKean's?
