Collects The Tale of One Bad Rat #1-4.

Bryan Talbot's inspirational story of young Helen Potter and her journey of healing won numerous awards and unending acclaim for the British writer/artist.

His walls are decorated with multiple awards including an Eisner and letters of commendation from Judy Taylor, the chair of the Beatrix Potter Society, numerous teachers and child welfare workers, and such fellow comics-industry luminaries as Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore.

The Tale of One Bad Rat touched the entire comics community and everyone who read it. This is a book that can be enjoyed on many levels; beyond its important message, it's an excellent story. Now Dark Horse is proud to offer a special edition of that ground-breaking graphic novel, a signed-and-numbered hardcover limited to 1,000 copies.

Designed to emulate Beatrix Potter's classic children's books, this keepsake edition features new artwork on the signature plate and all-new illustrations on the front and back four-color endpapers that frame the story. It's the perfect gift for a best friend, especially if you are your own best friend.
