WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Lackadaisy is a darkly humorous crime comic set in Prohibition-era St. Louis a year after the mysterious death of wealthy gangster Atlas May. The story follows the attempts of May's widow to keep the Lackadaisy speakeasy afloat and the defection of May's former protégé to the rival Marigold gang. This series features an engaging anthro cat art style reminiscent of Don Bluth, an impeccably researched sense of time and place, and a tantalizing plot wrapped around the secrets of a motley crew of rumrunners, Jazz musicians, hired killers, pyromaniacs, industrialists, and possibly even an innocent or two.
