Lackadaisy: Volume 1

About this book

Eisner Award Nomination, Best Graphic Album--Reprint "Dynamic art and nonstop mayhem purring along." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY"Beautifully captures the visual style of the Jazz Age." -- BOOKLISTIt's 1927 and Prohibition is in full effect. On the record, the nation is dry, but the glory days are at hand for an unassuming café on a quaint St. Louis side street. Beneath its tile floors is a subterranean saloon -- the Lackadaisy Speakeasy, where the spirits are still high and available on tap. Or at least they were until calamity rocked the establishment's foundations. Now, some jazz band riffraff and a beleaguered veteran are all that remain to pick up the pieces of the past . . . along with some decent bootleg booze. If the Lackadaisy is to survive this and the advances of its ferocious rivals, a little bit of creative chaos might be in order.
