Synopsis

The visual pizzazz and feisty humor of Lucky in Love sets this semi-fictionalized WWII graphic memoir apart. Co-created by George L. Chieffet (script) and cult cartoonist and animator Stephen DeStefano (plot and art), Lucky in Love has a different tone than the graphic novels Alan's War and You'll Never Know: elegantly drawn in a supremely confident, bouncy, cartoony black-and-white style that recalls Milt Gross as well as classic Disney animation and comics. Lucky in Love is a unique coming-of-age story that follows Lucky Testatuda from his rascally teen years in a New Jersey Little Italy neighborhood to his induction into the air force and subsequent wartime experiences. Lucky in Love shows Lucky merging his erotic fantasies with 1940s film myths: Moving from the ''40s to the present day, the book contrasts Lucky vivid fantasy life with the darker reality of World War II, including Lucky's sexual initiation and, in a masterful set-piece sequence that echoes Harvey Kurtzman's classic EC war comics, the horrors of armed combat.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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 dramatics works on the same theme such as Alan's War by Emmanuel Guibert (First Second, 2008). Second volume to follow in 2013.
