Why It Matters
The title channels a punk-era sensibility of disillusioned heroism that recurs across D*Face's work. Published by Black Rat Press rather than his own Stolen Space, it marks a collaboration with another key UK urban-art gallery of the period. The nine-colour separation reflects real technical investment for a mid-size edition.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 50 places this in the moderately scarce tier, more limited than his larger runs but not among his tightest. The Black Rat Press imprint carries its own collector recognition. The yellow colourway signals a likely variant set, so identifying the specific version matters for those assembling colourways.
Historical Context
Black Rat Press was a significant London publisher of urban-art editions in the late 2000s and early 2010s, working with numerous street artists. A 2010 D*Face release under this imprint reflects the collaborative, cross-gallery ecosystem that defined the UK scene before consolidation, and broadens the provenance range of his catalogue.
