review:
'Boot Black Vol. 1' with story and art by Mikael is a graphic novel about an orphan on the streets during the Great Depression.

Starting with the German front in 1945, we get flashbacks of the life of self-named orphan Al Chrysler. He and his street gang worked as bootblacks, or shoe shiners, until they begin running money for the local mobster. It's Al's way up and his way to impress Maggie, the girl who will have nothing to do with him.

The story is a bit of a new world stereotype, but the art is pretty stellar. I liked the art more than the story.
