Chuck's Critiques by Charles LePage
The Listener
David Lester
Arbeiter Ring Publishers
Per the website for The Listener, "In THE LISTENER, two stories collide: the rise of Hitler and a woman artist searching for meaning in the great art of Europe... THE LISTENER by David Lester contrasts the true story of a 1933 election with the fiction of a political death in 2010." I will concede to enjoying the preview pages and the concept a great deal. This seems to be a perfect theme for a melancholy and mature black and white graphic novel. Given the historical aspect of this tale, I'll be intrigued to find out how accurate the portions regarding Adolph Hitler are.
