This is a great tale of hunting down Nazis after WWII, made even better being inspired by a true story. I really enjoyed the book. Volume 2 cannot come out soon enough. The only element lacking here for me is more backstory to Simon’s life and his relationship with his friend, Bruno. His takedowns of Nazis is exciting to see unfold, though, especially how he finds and reveals them.
The artwork of the graphic novel is phenomenal. Every scene is illustrated in film noir style with tons of grayscale images and splashes of red at the perfect moments. For my enjoy adventures into graphic novels, this one definitely ranks high. The nonfiction aspect drew me in, while the writing style and art sold the deal.
