White Night

From the creator of the Civil Rights era graphic novel Josephine and the period piece The Plane Story Kevin Sacco brings another look back set in the advertising world of New York. It's a snowy night in the early 1960s and Zeppo Abandando, an advertising copywriter, is searching for his eureka moment for an ad campaign. White Night tells the story of this search, and in the process, Sacco reveals a loving portrait of Zeppo's world-at home, on Madison avenue, and at Harold's Showspot, his favorite bar. Part fiction, part memoir, White Night pays homage to Sacco's real life father, Joe Sacco, telling the story, and through his pitch perfect drawings, Zeppo's search for an aha moment takes on a grander, warmly humanistic meaning.
