Bridge

Review "The Bridge meticulously depicts the enormity of the project, from meeting room intrigues to the sometimes perilous construction site...Mr. Tomasi and Ms. DuVall capture many historic moments."-- "The New York Times" "The Bridge is an epic story of America, told in all its glory and dauntless personal courage, celebrating the perseverance of both Washington Roebling and Emily Roebling, who was one of our unsung women heroes. An enthralling story."--Kevin Baker "America the Ingenious" "The Bridge is exactly the type of story we need more of today--hopeful, idealistic, and daring. An epic with a real-world icon at its center built by the heads, hands, and hearts of real world heroes."--Geoff Johns "Justice League, DC Rebirth, and Doomsday Clock" "The Bridge succeeds in its immediacy, feeling alive and utterly relevant to this moment in history--an epic tale that reminds us of the heights our shared passions can take us. The Bridge will inspire awe and admiration in all who read it. Tomasi and DuVall have truly created a masterful achievement of narrative design."--Scott Snyder "A.D., Batman, Wytches" "A beautifully rendered work. Aspirational and informative, Tomasi and DuVall push the graphic novel medium into new directions."--David S. Goyer "Batman Begins, The Dark Knight" "A timeless tale of dreams realized. Tomasi's thrilling true story and DuVall's wonderful art exude the spirit of imagination, courage, and grit."--Gene Luen Yang "American Born Chinese, Boxers and Saints" "An engrossing story of an engineering marvel and the human ingenuity behind it."--Brian Azzarello "Dark Knight III, American Monster, and Moonshine" "An iconic landmark beloved by many for its panoramic views of the New York skyline...This beautifully rendered graphic novel, illustrated by Sara Duvall, details how this engineering marvel was brought to fruition."-- "Shelf Awareness" "DuVall's bright and crisp, superhero-style comics artwork easily distinguish among the characters and is a perfect match for Tomasi's impressive history, which balances action and emotion well. Together, they make sense of the complicated work of nineteenth-century bridge-building and the concurrent behind-the- scenes political and boardroom antics."-- "Booklist" "Engrossing and surprising."--Dave Gibbons "Watchmen, Kingsmen: Secret Service" "Hard to believe that a graphic novel about the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge could be exciting and as informative as "The Bridge"... The book is a great way to learn history."-- "Cleveland Plain Dealer" "Rather than being a story of a singular genius overcoming adversity, the book is a paean to collaboration. Iconic structures often have fascinating stories behind them, but rarely do the tellings emphasize the human as this one does." -- "Publishers Weekly" "The greatest city's greatest bridge deserves a great graphic novel, and Peter Tomasi is more than equal to the task."--Garth Ennis "Preacher, The Boys, War Story" "The Brooklyn Bridge is as much a feat of engineering as it is a familiar sight, as this graphic novel by Peter J. Tomasi and illustrator Sara Duvall reminds us."-- "New York Magazine" "There have been many books written about the bridge, but Tomasi's The Bridge is likely the first graphic novel. He does a magnificent job of depicting the politics, the danger, and the tenacity of the Roebling family and the hundreds of workers who built the bridge."-- "School Library Journal" "Tomasi and DuVall's The Bridge is an amazing piece of historical non-fiction. Wonderfully written and gorgeously illustrated. Full of heart and hope."--Jeff Lemire "Descender, Black Hammer" "What is assembled in this sublime book is more than a mere narrative, but the meeting of two passions; the Roebling family, forgotten by the years, and Tomasi's own need to tell their story, something which roars and foams from every page."--Greg Rucka "Lazarus, Black Magick, and Wonder Woman" "With just the right balance of history
