Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?

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 story--an insightful look at relationships and the promise of the future--in 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 nation--and the enduring promise of the future.
