Wow! SC (2011 11B Press) comic books

1st printing. Written by David Pérez. Art by George Pérez. It's the South Bronx of the 1960s, a neighborhood teetering on change. The young Puerto Rican boy David Pérez is living in the Millbrook housing projects, about to be transferred to St. Luke's Elementary School, where he's already attended catechism and asked if God "popped out of nowhere." So begins this delightful and engaging "memoirito," a novella-like tale that follows David trying his best to be "cool" in a neighborhood where being smart in school isn't something to brag about. The first in a series, Wow! also adds a fresh chapter to the colorful chronicles of Latinos living in the United States - complex, layered, y lleno de sabor. Features illustrations by renowned comic book artist George Pérez (Avengers, New Teen Titans), David's brother. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 128 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations). Cover price $10.00.
