Since winning the Turner Prize in 2003, the celebrated transvestite potter Grayson Perry (born 1960) has become something of a national institution in the U.K. In 1992, some while before he became known, Atlas Press published Perry's sole graphic novel, Cycle of Violence , the nightmarish tale of a young cyclist and transvestite, now reprinted in a handsome hardcover edition.
