The Failed Promise of Bradley Gethers: Longshot Comics Book Two

"There's nothing else like this in comics. These books are pure genius."
-Johanna Draper Carlson, Comics Worth Reading

Overlapping and continuing the saga that began with The Long and Unlearned Life of Roland Gethers, the critically acclaimed graphic novel that first took the comics industry by storm in 1993, Book Two follows the journey of Roland's grandson, Bradley, through the turmoil of World War II, the tradition of the British theatre, the glitz of Hollywood, the paranoia of the communist witch hunts, and the hallowed halls of academia.

As epic in scale as its predecessor, The Failed Promise of Bradley Gethers ushers the saga through the 20th century, and into a new modern era that threatens to fragment the Gethers family just as it seeks to escape the lower-class grind of a defunct empire.
