review:
'The Old Geezers: Volume 1' by Wilfrid Lupano with art by Paul Cauuet is a graphic novel about growing old, but sometimes not necessarily growing up.

Antoine, Emile and Pierrot have been friends since boyhood. They grew up and grew apart ideologically. In the first story, a common friend has died and brings them all back together to reminisce about playing pirates as boys or protesting together.

In the second story, an act of kindness creates a crisis for one of the gentleman when he receives a mysterious package signed by someone he lost years ago. The plan to correct it involves striking back at an annoying bread chain.

The aged aren't typically depicted like this in American literature. Leave it to the French to show that just because we get older, doesn't mean we aren't up for some mischief with old friends. The art is fun and detailed. I really liked the story and the characters.

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