The Waldorf Astoria is the classiest hotel along the Manhattan skyline in 1930s New York City. When a charming woman named Nina checks in with a high-society entourage, young Frank, a bellhop, and Theresa, a maid, get caught up in a series of mysterious thefts. The stakes quickly grow perilous, and the pair must rely on each other to discover the truth while navigating delicate class politics.

Eisner Award-winning artist Jonathan Case (Green River Killer, Dear Creature) writes and draws this brilliant graphic novel of petty crime, comic predicaments, and vast heart in a story that speaks to class, race, and gender barriers.


Review :
A Character Driven 1930's New York City Caper Film, (sorry, Book)
The heading above says it all. A varied group of people, lodged in the Waldorf, circa 1930, trick and con each other, while a professional burglar fleeces them all. If that sounds like what you want, wrapped up in a snappy bow, then that is what you will get.

1930's Manhattan is nicely presented and framed. Lots of period touches make almost every panel interesting. Clothes, slang, dropped names, political discussions, attitudes, and class distinctions are true to the 30's, true to New York City, and true to the kinds of people who worked or stayed at the Waldorf.

From men selling apples on the sidewalk, to the Harlem Renaissance, to the right scotch and Chesterfield cigarettes, there is a wealth of detail, both in the drawings and tossed away in conversation, that sets the scene. Political commentary and portrayals of race and class divisions are there, although not addressed in any depth.

It's not quite screwball, although there are a few manic...
Heck of a Fun Heist Story
It’s 1936 and the height of the Great Depression but you wouldn’t know it at the Waldorf Astoria…unless, of course you’re a bellhop or a maid and you have to be constantly at the beck and call of the spoiled rich guests or the constant demands of management. When Nina Booth arrives in grand style with her trunk and her bird cage, bellhop Frank O’Malley is immediately smitten. But she’s way out of his league. Besides, he’s been unlucky at the poker table and he better pay up or else. Meanwhile, Theresa, an African American maid with acting aspirations (she’s in Orson Welles’ production of Macbeth staged with an all-black cast) has her own troubles. When a very expensive jewel-encrusted dog collar goes missing, the help is immediately suspected and the owner of the collar wants Theresa fired immediately despite her pleas of innocence. Fortunately (maybe), Nina steps in and asks to have Theresa assigned as her personal maid. But Nina...
The Real Deal - A great graphic novel capturing the essence of a bygone era.

A great graphic novel. From the first page until the last page I didn't want to put it down. Case's art and story were a perfect marriage in telling a story that had the look and feel of a great old black and white film from the golden age of Hollywood. The story delivered a complete story that had a satisfying feel to it and yet I could see that there could be another chapter that has opened up for our three characters. Not having grown up in the thirties I still feel that from my perspective he caught the entire era perfectly mixing politics, humor, crime and race all in one beautiful rendered tome. With so much of the "comic book press" being given over to Marvel and DC gems like this are too often overlooked. It tells a complete story, has gorgeous art and is an engaging read. Just buy it.
