Garage Band by Gipi

4.0

---

It's a slice-of-life graphic novel, where conflict doesn't drive the plot as much as the natural passage of time does. Readers may come to expect "trouble" or some kind of action to arise from either the Nazi poster collecting Alex or the seemingly crazy vocalist, Stefano. Not so! These are just snapshots of pieces of these guys rather than the subject of an after school special on how not to be. The boys' lives blend like Gipi's watercolors and you wish you could hear what these guys were playing. I'd say patient comics readers, who don't require buckets of blood or bullets in their sequential art, will really enjoy this.
