In Stores Now: The Con Artists by Luke Healy ‘14

The Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS) alum Lukey Healy ‘14, released his third graphic novel, THE CON ARTISTS, on June 7 with Drawn and Quarterly.

A note from his publisher: “Luke Healy’s playful, hilarious third graphic novel uses crisp lines and physical comedy to portray an uneasy friendship between two young men on the cusp of adulting. Snippets from Frank’s middling stand-up routines are punctuated by the subtle farce of Healy’s mise-en-scène and the lively, at times scathingly pointed, banter of old friends. The Con Artists is a stylish character study that asks the question of who fools who once everyone is off-camera.”
