Dropsie Avenue: The Neighborhood by Will Eisner
4.0
"...How do we get the city to develop it?"
"You don't! Whites are pulling out!!"
Or as John Oliver would put it, "funding tends to follow white people around the way white people follow the band Phish around." lol
I preferred this one to the other two in the trilogy, but all in all, it was a interesting story of a neighborhood in New York City and its change in development, population, and political climate throughout the decades by following the lives of various different tenants. The more graphic novels I read the more I become aware of my artistic preferences. It varies but just like with Asterios Polyp, I've come to love more simpler artwork that's also deals with little or no color. I loved the sepia tones with this trilogy. However, I also love graphic novels like Saga that are teeming with color. Anyway, it was a good read and the nostalgic ending of Dropsie Avenue really wrapped up nicely and gave true meaning to everything comes full circle and the fact that humans do a great job of spouting out sayings like: Those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it, but do a horrible job of actually heeding those words.
