A big thanks to Publishers Weekly Comics Week (and editor Heidi MacDonald, and the article’s author Chris Arrant) for this week’s article/interview about Midnight Sun.
In 1928, the Italian airship Italia embarked on an expedition to the North Pole and never returned home. Crashed in the arctic climate, the surviving crew of the Italia were up against a ticking clock to survive and reach help. That “help” was a Russian icebreaker, with an unfeeling American reporter aboard who could think of a million things he’d rather be doing.
Although this true story was in the headlines of all major newspapers while it unfolded, little historical documentation exists on the story of the Italia. SLG Publishing is releasing a graphic novel, Midnight Sun, which seeks to document the Italia’s story for current audiences. (more at PW online…)
