A comic study of 20th-century history, reconstructing the life of writer, creator and professional prisoner Tulse Lu[er. Born in 1911 Newport, Wales and last heard of in 1989, Luper's life is pieced together from the evidence found in 92 suitcases scattered around the world. In the first of three parts, we follow Luper through three distinct episodes: as a child during the first World War; as an explorer in Mormon Utah; and as a writer in Belgium during the rise of fascism.
