A first-rate pleasure from the acclaimed graphic novelist Phelan.
And this book -- riveting, wondrously drawn, expertly paced -- is a
triumph in and of itself.
--The New York Times
With uncommon perception and a flair for visual drama, Phelan
tracks three intrepid souls' solo journeys around the world...Three
true tales of adventure as grand and admirable in the telling as
they were in the doing.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A graphic novel that will appeal
to aficionados of the form and any reader in search of engrossing
true journeys.
--School Library Journal (starred review) The stories encompass
such national ideals as dogged can-do spirit, exploration,
enterprise, and commercialism...the very essence of determination
and adventure.
--Booklist (starred review) Phelan invests each tale with its own
distinct mood and style.
