I finally got Stagger Lee. The best parts of the book were when the different versions of the song were explored and played off one another. The visual way this was done was especially interesting- the visual motif of the suit patterns made the different versions of Stagger Lee and Billy instantly recognizable. The historical fiction was also very interesting. They took a few historical characters and by the end of it, we have a good story of corruption, whores with hearts of gold, saloon politics, and lawyering. I of course love the art, but it speaks for itself.
