Now in paperback, this original graphic novel tells the story of a boy's relationship with his father. Spanning the period from the 1939 World's Fair to the last Apollo space mission in 1975, it depicts an optimistic and ambitious era fueled by industry, engines, electricity, rockets, middle-class pop culture, and the atom bomb. Award-winning author Brian Fies presents his storyan insightful look at relationships and the promise of the futurein a way that only comics and graphic novels can. A lively trip through a half century of technological evolution, Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?is also a perceptive look at the changing moods of our nationand the enduring promise of the future. "A hopelessly optimistic moon-age daydream" The Village Voice " Whatever Happened To The World Of Tomorrowis a very special book that will speak to you on so many levels. And at the end of it, when you sit there and think on what you've just read, it may even make you, like it did me, realise that Fies' vision of our past and his hope for the future is something we can all share in. Quite brilliant."Richard Bruton, forbiddenplanet.co.uk
