Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Originally published in France to overwhelming critical acclaim, including the Ren\u00e9 Goscinny Prize and the Angoul\u00eame Essential Award, LUCILLE is the English-languge debut for Ludovic Debeurme, a young master of cartooning. It’s a love story full of tragedy and hope, following two teenagers who cling to each other amid illness and grief. Arthur is suffocating under the painful legacy of his alcoholic father, but when he encounters shy Lucille in a treatment center for anorexia, they form an instant connection and set off for a journey across Europe, hoping against all odds to make their own destiny.<\/p>\n

Comic shops and bookstores that sell out of LUCILLE can re-order with the Diamond code FEB11-1168 or the ISBN 978-1-60309-073-5, and you can check out LUCILLE<\/a> at the Top Shelf site here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And here’s what people are already saying about LUCILLE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“As the story develops, the characters become more complex and the art more gracefully realistic… It evokes great sympathy for its characters, young and old.” — Library Journal<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Moving and rich.” — GQ France<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The characters are remarkable… Debeurme gets underneath what makes these young lovers tick, and is realistic enough to realize that they’re too inexperienced and impulsive to fix each other. Still, the love affair in Lucille burns bright, illuminating two lives.” — The AV Club<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Lucille impresses as much by the power of its drawing as by the subtlety of its dialogue and plotting… it alternates tender moments of joy with scenes that evoke tears… Tremendous.” — Didier Pasamonik, ActuaBD<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Lucille is a credit to Top Shelf’s catalog of impressive graphic novels and deserves the attention of readers wanting some of the most innovative sequential art published today.” — Graphic Novel Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n

“For a story about the search for freedom, to be yourself, Debeurme’s approach makes the most of the freedom of the comics medium. …It’s a wonderful, satisfying experience in itself to read and savour and easily one of the truly unmissable bande dessin\u00e9e translations of the year.” — Paul Gravett, author of Graphic Novels: Stories to Change Your Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The type of story the graphic novel was meant for.” — Playback:STL
