It marks a venture into new creative territory for Lessing, and is illustrated by the young British artist Daniel Vallely.Together Francesca Bird and Spacer Joe play the game, hoping to rise far above the squalor where Joe began. This is a moving story of love in a soulless world, and the first graphic novel to be written by a major novelist.From the Back CoverI AM SPACER JOE MAGNIFICO SIMPATICOThe irresistible power of a young man's faith in himself brings the sublime Francesca Bird to his aid.
