I picked up a nice, unread hardback cheaply based on the title and author's pedigree. And that's pretty much exactly what the book is trading on. The artwork is crisp and clever, but the story just isn't really there. Respect to Kubert and all that, but meh. ( ) no reviews | add a review

From legendary creator Joe Kubert comes this moving coming-of-age story set within Depression-era New York City. Ruby is a handsome young man growing up in a poor Brooklyn Jewish family. When Ruby falls in with a local mobster called Monk, his initial eagerness to make a few dollars to support his saintly, hardworking parents ends up getting him in way over his head in the organized crime world. Now he's caught up in both a war between the Jewish and Italian mobs over unionizing factories and an affair with his dangerous mentor's gorgeous moll. No library descriptions found. |
