THE OLD GEEZERS VOLUME 1 HC by Wilfrid Lupano

The Old Geezers series tells the story of three septuagenarians who have been friends since childhood: Antoine, Emile, and Pierrot. They have each taken different paths in life, made different choices, and started (or not) their own families. The series moves back and forth between the 50s and the present day, telling the tragic-comic tale of our time, with all of its social, political, and cultural upheavals! Beautifully written and gorgeously illustrated, The Old Geezers Vol 1 features two complete stories: "Alive and Still Kicking" and "Bonny and Pierrot", plus bonus material. The books regularly top the graphic novel bestseller across EUROPE--with hundreds of thousands of copies sold--and a hit movie based on the series came out last year, with a sequel in development. A bestseller that became a feature film in France, this lighthearted, character-driven comics series by Lupano (Sea of Love) delivers more depth than typical quirky old man jokes. The first volume collects two stories featuring three elderly heroes-Pierrot, Antoine, and Emile-who are lifelong political leftists/anarchists and close friends.

Wilfrid Lupano and Paul Cauuet's The Old Geezers is a funny treat withsomething to say about life"the pathos, self-awareness and comedy of StillGame handled even more deftly." It earns the full five stars.---https://theslingsandarrows.com/
