Yhdysvaltalainen Emi Gennis kertoo uskomattoman tarinan Annie Edson Taylorista - ensimmäisestä ihmisestä, joka laski Niagaran putouksista alas ja selvisi siitä hengissä.Kuuluisuuden ja vaurastumisen sijaan Annie ajautui kuitenkin maailmaan, jossa hänellä ei ollut tulevaisuuden mahdollisuuksia eikä turvaa.
Teos julkaistaan osana Oulun kirjamessujen avajaisia ja näyttelyn avajaiset järjestetään 10.10.2025 klo 18 alkaen Sarjakuvagalleria!ssa. Tervetuloa!
