Old Geezers

What a fabulous graphic novel which ends with a cliff-hanger. I cannot wait for the next installment. Beautifully drawn, the story is lovely and the characters well-drawn (both literally and metaphorically). What a charming and nostalgic novel.

This is an interesting way to tell a story, with old protagonists involved, as well as one very pregnant grandchild, trying to find the mystery of stolen gold, and a love affair, as they travel from France to Italy.

And guess what? Not too much gratuitous female nudity for once, from a European comic book writer. (I mean there are a few scenes where we see a nude back, and some of the women have some tight clothes, but not bad).

And we are left with a mystery, at the end, to be resolved, I take, in the future translations of this book.

Thanks to NetGalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Super fun to read and the illustrations are wonderful!! I especially loved the flashback scenes and the way they were presented with a coloration change segue. This needs to be read in physical form or on a table, not e-reader as it is in full color and so visually appealing.

Couldn't leave it before i read it from the beginning til the end - it caught my eye at first sight - really beautiful drawings, lovely colours, so nice affectionate painted characters. I'd love to see and read more of them!
