A review by tcbueti
Return of the Dapper Men by Jim McCann

3.0

A beautiful and stylish work, but I'm not sure what it was about. There was a lot of "all of this will be explained in time" but I didn't feel like it was. Philosophical: "Gradually having people realize that their world has changed, and that it's time to move on" was my 10-year old son's interpretation. (He thought the whole thing was amazing.) There is stuff about working together, accepting differences, accepting (and even seeking) change, and not being passive. Maybe I'm too cynical and jaded to get it.

I enjoyed the pages of tribute art by other artists, and the section explaining some of the process of creating the artwork for this book. And I have to admit I love that the introduction was written by "the original dapper man", Tim Gunn of Project Runway fame!

Quirky and original, for active graphic novel collections.
