It was the artwork that attracted me to this book. Gorgeous rich colors and stylized backgrounds work wonderfully to depict the
World War II setting.

...Evelyn’s comics within the book are drawn in a similar style but colored in a halftone-dot effect that evokes Golden Age superhero comics.

“

Dizin’s art channels Hergé’s Tintin in tone, palette, and with the remarkable expressiveness of the clean, flexible figures.
He also echoes the Belgian master’s sense
of fun and action...
