review:
'Teddy' by Laurence Luckinbill with adaptation and art by Eryck Tait is a graphic novel about an aging US president who is looking back on his life.

Taking the premise of a 61 year old president Teddy Roosevelt giving a speech in 1918, this frames the story of the main character. From his close relationship to his father to the death of his first wife to his early days in politics. His platform was to strengthen the military, but at the time of this graphic novel, the navy has been weakened. Teddy has also received some more tragic personal news.

I couldn't find out if this speech was one that occurred, but it works well as a framing event for the story. The interior art is pretty good, using minimal colors and strong, simple lines. The cover doesn't do the inside justice.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dead Reckoning and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
