review:
'Perico' by Regis Hautiere with art by Philippe Berthet is a story set in the Cuba of yesteryear.
Joaquin is a young casino worker in a Havana, Cuba right before Fidel Castro takes over. His boss is a gangster, but Joaquin likes the money. When Joaquin falls for the bosses girlfriend, he ends up in trouble. It's compounded by taking a briefcase full of cash that his brother stole from a mafia courier. Now Joaquin is fleeing the country with trouble close behind.
It's set in Cuba, but I've read this same story set in many locations with crime families. It's also part 1 of 2, so this is not a complete story. The art works well and I liked the look of the book.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
