Work for a Million by Amanda Deibert
4.0
Rounding up because this was a graphic novel adaptaion of an important piece of Canadian lesbian history.
Work for a Million was published in the 1970s by Eve Zaremba, and features a butch Private Detective, named Helen, helping to find out who is harassing a recent lottery winner in Toronto.
The graphic novel had the charm of an old detective novel but replace the schlubby detective with a badass butch in a leather jacket.
The story was pretty standard for a mystery and the art was quite well done. There were some parts of the script that did not transition nicely between panels.
It was worth the read to acquaint myself with a book series I never knew existed. I am glad they took the time to adapt the original novel into something that can be shared with current readers.
