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. An interstitial bridging the first and second parts, repeating the last hour of Part 1 and appending it with material covering Luper's time in Antwerp.
