A couple of early mentions for the book around the internets…
From Justin of the review site/blog, 13 Minutes:
Midnight Sun (SLG): Ben Towle’s little masterpiece finally sees print in one complete smaller-than-digest-sized format. One of the best books from 2007!
And from fellow comics educator Scott Tingley’s site Comics in the Classroom’s holiday book review section:
I just got finished reading a copy of Midnight Sun by Ben Towle . It is a black, white and blue 130 or so paged reimagining of the crash of the Italian airship, the Italia in 1928. It is not meant to be an accurate retelling, but it would be of interest to airship enthusiasts (I’m sure they exist), history buffs and anyone interested in a terrific, grown-up graphic novels. There is a little swearing and drunkenness, but it is the intensity of the situation that makes this for Young Adults and above. I have only read the pdf version of it but, by all accounts, the final version is quite attractive
Thanks, folks!
