Lucky In Love (Hardback)

Elegantly drawn in a supremely confident, lively, cartoony b/w style that recalls Milt Gross as well as classic Disney animation and comics, Lucky in Love is a unique coming-of-age story, which follows its loveable eponymous hero Lucky Testatuda from his rascally teen years in Hoboken, New Jersey's Little Italy, to his induction into the air force and subsequent wartime experiences. This light-footed comic novel of WWII is almost the flipside to dramatic works on the same theme such as Alan's War by Emmanuel Guibert (First Second, 2008). Second volume to follow in 2013.
