![]() Then, we meet Peggy, a typical young teenager who happens to have polio. FBI agents chase a mysterious dude wearing a trench coat and carrying a briefcase through a building until said dude jumps out a sixth-floor window and disappears. ![]() Walsh sets the story in 1953, in Anytown, USA, which seems to be at least near Washington, DC. ![]() There’s nothing here that’s necessarily “adult,” but Walsh doesn’t pull any punches, and I’m a bit impressed that it’s from Graphix, which is usually a bit more on the “young” side of the “young adult” divide. Ok, so in this book, more than one person dies, many kids are threatened, there’s post-traumatic stress due to Korea, there’s a mob threatening violence on a family, and the main character has polio. ![]() Liam Francis Walsh and the folk at Graphix have brought us Red Scare, a “young adult” comic that seems to be not very “young adult” at all. ![]()
