Imagine having dinner with the most clever, well-read, entertaining person you know, a committed historian and accomplished raconteur, with a thousand interests and the ability to manipulate multiple stories and ideas like an expert juggler balancing a thousand plates on spinning sticks, and you have some idea of what Alice in Sunderland is like. Except that, instead of being limited to the spoken word, your dinner companion has access not only to the traditional graphic novelist's arsenal of words, pictures and colours, but also to a modern Photoshop-driven array of visual magic tricks that can combine images from dozens of periods and modify them to fit the narrative being told. A candidate for "greatest graphic novel of all time", Bryan Talbot's Alice in Sunderland is certainly the most ambitious.
