Mirabilis is the story of a lost and forgotten year sometime between Victorian and Edwardian times. On New Year's Day a green comet appears in the sky. As it draws closer to Earth, imaginary things become part of daily life, until in midsummer the entire world is filled with fantasy. Mermaids swim up the Thames, there's a Martian embassy in New York, and a dragon is trying to hatch the Taj Mahal. Then the comet passes the sun and starts to grow fainter every day, and so the magic begins to fade. But having once known such wonders - having let their imaginations off the leash - can people go back to their life the way it used to be? Mirabilis is an epic full-color graphic novel drawn from the pages of Random House's weekly comic The DFC. A delightful fantasy adventure for all ages from 10 years and up.
