Author: James Vance
"One of the most moving and compelling human stories to emerge out of the graphic story medium."—Alan Moore — This award-winning tale, set in the height of the Great Depression, received rave reviews long before graphic novels became the phenomenon they are today.

It is January 1932, and movie-loving Freddie Bloch is trading his father's liquor bottles for the cost a matinee: "Dreams were only a dime, but empty bottles [only] brought a penny apiece." When his father disappears and his brother gets arrested, Freddie finds himself homeless and adrift, trying to survive during the Detroit labor riots and amid the furor of violent, anti-communist mobs. Winner of the Eisner Award and the Harvey Award for Best New Series and an additional Eisner Award for Best Single Issue.
