"Action (and angst) in the great pulp tradition, delivered with a sure hand and a dancing line. Keep your eye on this cartoonist!"--Mark Newgarden, author of We All Die Alone and Bow-Wow Bugs a Bug

Brendan Leach's Pterodactyl Hunters in the Gilded City, a Best American Comics selection and winner of the Xeric Award and Ignatz Award for Outstanding Comic, is a story of sibling rivalry and family tradition in a rapidly changing world: a version of a turn-of-the-century New York where generations of working-class hot air balloonists take to the skies each night to defend their city from pterodactyls.
