review:
'The Old Geezers' by Wilfrid Lupano with art by Paul Cauuet is a graphic novel about some aging friends who gather for a funeral. Times like this always make you reminisce.
Antoine's wife has died and his two oldest friends come to the funeral. They've been friends since they played pirates as boys. In their earlier life, they were activists in the 1960s. When Antoine finds out the owner of the factory once slept with his wife, he sets out in a car with a gun to get his revenge. His two friends and Antoine's pregnant granddaughter give chase.
It took a bit for me to warm to this story, but the lesson that people are more than they appear, and the art won me over. I liked this loopy cast of characters, and this story of aging defiantly.
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.
