From the dream team behind #1 New York Times bestseller Indeh
comes a graphic novel following a father and son as they navigate an
increasingly catastrophic day.
Set against the quiet and unassuming city of Huntsville, Texas, Jack
"Meadowlark" Johnson, and his teenage son, Cooper embark on a journey of
epic proportions. Told over the course a single day, this electrifying
graphic novel recounts Cooper's struggle to survive the consequences of
his father's mistakes and the dangers they have brought home to his
estranged family. As Cooper and his father desperately navigate
cascading threats of violence, they must also grapple with their own
combative, dysfunctional, but loving relationship.
Drawing on inspiration from the authors' childhoods in Texas, their
relationships with their own sons and from ancient myths that resonate
throughout the ages, this contemporary crime noir is a propulsive
coming-of-age tale of the shattering transition into manhood. While both
father and son strive to understand their place in the world and each
other's lives, tension and resentment threaten to boil over. As
emotionally evocative as it is visually stunning, this captivating
graphic novel will appeal to fans of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for
Old Men and Terrence Malick's Badlands.
