A twisty conspiracy epic, the 49th Key... has been one of my favorite
Heavy Metal serials since it started." - Grant Morrison. 49th Key is based on
the 16th century legend of Enochian magic, which tells of a secret language of
angels. The first chapter in an expansive fantasy series tells of a rogue
archeologist and a young autistic and mute boy on a treacherous journey through
England to bring the boy home. The boy turns out to be the key to a gateway
between our world and that of Enochia, a magical society that exists below the
Earth's surface, filled with fantasy creatures and highly advanced
humans.
