Tin Lizzie 1 #1

Mississippi, 1908: in the sleepy little town of Ponchatowla, a huge crate at the river port causes excitement – it contains a car! The first automobile in town is a simple Ford T, acquired by the local large landowner, the »Colonel«. Nevertheless, it marks a small sensation and the beginning of a new era.

»Tin Lizzie« is the impressive comic debut of Thierry Chaffouin and Dominique Monféry, who as experienced animators (among others for Disney) transfer their skills to the album. The result is a cheerfully melancholic story on the threshold between the end of childhood innocence and the arrival of progress – a great adventure full of charm, wit and emotion.
