A boy named Peter, abandoned in the grim streets of Victorian London, must navigate a world of harsh realities and find solace in the fantastical tales that offer him an escape. Raised by an alcoholic mother and left in a state of near-orphanhood, Peter's only refuge from his bleak existence is the imaginative stories shared by a kind neighbor, which allow him to temporarily flee the oppressive adult world. This graphic novel series reimagines the classic Peter Pan narrative, plunging readers into a dark and gritty interpretation of the familiar tale.

This graphic novel series offers a starkly different perspective on the beloved Peter Pan character, delving into his origins with a grim and mature tone. The artwork is frequently cited as a significant strength, drawing readers into Loisel's detailed and atmospheric rendition of Victorian London and its fantastical elements. The narrative's departure from the traditional, lighter portrayal of Neverland has resonated with readers seeking a darker, more complex exploration of the character's past.
